Composition and Dynamics of Functional Groups of Trees During Tropical Forest Succession in Northeastern Costa Rica (2010, background): “In both mature and successional forests, some species do not conform to this simple dichotomy because of ontogenetic shifts in responses to light availability (Clark & Clark 1992, Dalling et al. 2001, Poorter et al. 2005, Niinemets 2006, Poorter 2007).”
The role of wood density and stem support costs in the growth and mortality of tropical trees (2006, background): “As the shade tolerance of some species varies with ontogeny (Clark & Clark 1992; Burslem & Whitmore 2003; Poorter et al. 2005), different results might have been obtained for different size ranges of trees.”
Effects of topography on structuring local species assemblages in a Sri Lankan mixed dipterocarp forest (2013, background): “Changing habitat requirements with tree size may also be related with ontogenetic shifts in resource requirements such as light (Poorter et al. 2005; Comita, Condit & Hubbell 2007) or in physiological and morphological traits related to light capture (Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
The importance of wood traits and hydraulic conductance for the performance and life history strategies of 42 rainforest tree species. (2010, background): “Similar-sized individuals of the same species can be found under a wide range of CEs, but what counts from an evolutionary point of view is the average population-level CE of the species (Poorter et al., 2005).”
Genetic effects of forest management practices: Global synthesis and perspectives (2014, background): “For example, early-stage shade tolerance for seedlings may be favored in dense populations whereas light tolerance will be important at later stages for the same tree (Poorter et al., 2005).”
Modes of speciation and the neutral theory of biodiversity (2007, background): “This is further supported by increasing evidence on adaptive interspecific differences leading to strong niche differentiation in tree communities (Wright et al. 2004, Poorter et al. 2005).”
Growth and mortality are related to adult tree size in a Malaysian mixed dipterocarp forest (2006, background): “All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2005.10.066 has received increasing attention as a basic species attribute and mechanism for species coexistence (Kohyama, 1993; Kohyama et al., 2003; Thomas, 2003; Poorter et al., 2005).”
Developmental changes in habitat associations of tropical trees (2007, background): “…shifts in tree species’ light requirements from the seedling to adult stage (Clark & Clark 1992; Grubb 1996; Dalling et al. 2001; Lusk 2004; Poorter et al. 2005), as well as ontogenetic shifts in many physiological and morphological traits related to light capture (Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
Seedling root morphology and biomass allocation of 62 tropical tree species in relation to drought‐ and shade‐tolerance (2009, methodology): “Similar-sized individuals of the same species can be found under a wide range of crown exposures, but what counts from an evolutionary point of view is the average population-level CE of the species (Poorter et al. 2005).”
Lifetime growth patterns and ages of Bolivian rain forest trees obtained by tree ring analysis (2006, methodology): “These differences result from interspecific variation in shade tolerance (Kobe et al. 1995; Canham et al. 1999) and in response to increased light level (Denslow 1980) and differences in light level (Poorter et al. 2005a).”
Growth responses of neotropical trees to logging gaps (2010, background): “This strategy can be linked to a null model of light vertical distribution (Poorter et al. 2005), meaning that optimum inherent growth in forests naturally follows incident light levels through vertical strata.”
Are functional traits good predictors of demographic rates? Evidence from five neotropical forests. (2008, background): “Tall species may also have higher inherent growth rates because they are more demanding of light (Poorter et al. 2005, Sheil et al. 2006).”
Response of recruitment to light availability across a tropical lowland rain forest community (2009, background): “To arrive at a more complete understanding of species’ life-history traits, differential response of growth and survival to light conditions have to be analysed for different ontogenetic stages (Clark & Clark 1992; Poorter et al. 2005).”
Tropical tree species assemblages in topographical habitats change in time and with life stage (2011, background): “Alternatively, ontogenetic shifts in resource requirements, such as light (Lusk 2004; Poorter et al. 2005), or shifts in water use (Donovan & Ehleringer 1992), may be responsible for conflicting habitat requirements between juvenile and reproductive stages that could neutralize the habitat…”
Trade‐off between light interception efficiency and light use efficiency: implications for species coexistence in one‐sided light competition (2014, background): “canopy, subcanopy and understorey layers) is often seen across species in forests (Kohyama 1993; Aiba & Kohyama 1996; Poorter et al. 2005) but is usually much less apparent in herbaceous stands.”
