Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “2000, 2003), stable isotopes (e.g. Berntson & Wayne 2000) or radioactive tracers (e.g. Caldwell et al .”
A guide for using functional diversity indices to reveal changes in assembly processes along ecological gradients (2013, background): “Competition for light is size-asymmetric (i.e. larger individuals are disproportionately advantaged) whereas below-ground competition is size-symmetric (Schwinning & Weiner 1998; Berntson & Wayne 2000; Cahill & Casper 2000).”
Interactive effects of nutrient heterogeneity and competition: implications for root foraging theory? (2012, background): “…an important determinant for below-ground competitive ability, not only in homogeneous conditions (Casper & Jackson 1997; Schwinning & Weiner 1998; Berntson & Wayne 2000; Rajaniemi 2007; Bartelheimer, Steinlein & Beyschlag 2008), but also in nutrient patches (Hodge et al. 1999; Rajaniemi 2003;…”
Symmetric competition causes population oscillations in an individual-based model of forest dynamics (2008, background): “However, root competition is often symmetric (i.e., the resource is equally partitioned between individuals independently of their size; Berntson and Wayne, 2000) or inversely asymmetric (i.e., smaller individuals consume a larger portion of resource than taller ones; Schenk, 2006).”
Size-asymmetric competition and size-asymmetric growth in a spatially explicit zone-of-influence model of plant competition (2006, background): “While size-asymmetric competition is usually defined in terms of resource pre-emption, researchers are just beginning to be able to measure resource uptake as a function of size in competing plants (Berntson and Wayne 2000; Hikosaka and Hirose 2001).”
Soil nutrient heterogeneity alters competition between two perennial grass species (2001, background): “In competition belowground, higher nutrient uptake is likely to enhance subsequent growth (see Berntson and Wayne 2000) and this may explain the higher competitive ability of F. rubra relative to A. odoratum in homogeneous soils.”
