Tamm Review: On the strength of evidence when comparing ecosystem functions of mixtures with monocultures (2015, background): “(6) is not a constant and changes with environmental conditions and even in mixed compared with monospecific stands (Binkley, 1984; Woodall et al., 2005; Weiskittel et al., 2009; ReyesHernandez et al., 2013).”
Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, methodology): “Woodall et al. (2005) proposed a generalization of self-thinning lines using the specific gravity functional trait to go beyond the species identity by extending the negative linear relationship between maximum SDI and specific gravity (Dean and Baldwin 1996).”
Interactions between white-tailed deer density and the composition of forest understories in the northern United States (2017, methodology): “Relative density (Woodall et al., 2005) was computed to characterize live-tree stocking.”
Tree species mixing can increase maximum stand density (2016, methodology): “For quantifying stand density in mixed stands additional stand 73 characteristics such as the skewness of the diameter distribution (Sterba and Monserud 1993) 74 or specific wood density (Woodall et al. 2005) might be used.”
Density‐dependent vulnerability of forest ecosystems to drought (2017, methodology): “We calculated maximum SDI according to a 99th percentile maximum SDI model (Woodall, Miles & Vissage 2005): where E (SDI 99 ) is the statistical expectation of the 99th percentile maximum SDI, and SG m is the mean speciﬁc gravity for the study species.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, background): “Woodall et al. (2005) suggested that SDImax be determined in mixed species stands as a function of the mean specific gravity of the wood of trees on the plot.”
Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests. (2014, methodology): “Although there is emerging work (Ducey and Knapp, 2010) that may improve the coefficients of the Woodall et al. (2005) model at regional scales, the national coefficients proposed by Woodall et al. (2005) should prove adequate for a nationwide analysis.”
