NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, methodology): “Spatial distribution and chemistry of leaf litterfall Litter biomass data were fit to isotropic and anisotropic lognormal dispersal functions (Greene et al. 2004).”
Species resistance and community response to wind disturbance regimes in northern temperate forests (2006, background): “T. canadensis, for which establishment is limited by the same factors as B. alleghaniensis, does not experience a similar secondary peak in basal area because it is dispersal limited in these simulations (Table 3). As a cautionary note regarding our model predictions, Greene et al. (2004) have poi”
Recruitment limitation in forests: Lessons from an unprecedented mountain pine beetle epidemic (2008, methodology): “…favorability of seedbed substrates (e.g. Wright et al., 1998; LePage et al., 2000), mother or parent tree proximity and abundance (Ribbens et al., 1994; LePage et al., 2000; Greene et al., 2004) and overstory structure (Gray and Spies, 1996; Wright et al., 1998; LePage et al., 2000; Coates, 2002).”
Plant fecundity and seed dispersal in spatially heterogeneous environments: models, mechanisms and estimation (2008, background): “When moving through high density areas, these seeds may additionally be intercepted by trees (Greene et al. 2004; Pounden et al. 2008).”
Above‐ versus below‐ground competitive effects and responses of a guild of temperate tree species (2009, background): “Given the relatively limited dispersal distances of most tree species (Ribbens et al . 1994; Clark et al . 1999; LePage et al . 2000; Greene et al . 2004 ), the spatial distribution of seed trees will have strong effects on the distribution and abundance of regeneration.”
Measuring plant dispersal: an introduction to field methods and experimental design (2006, background): “One has to assume the function(s) used is the correct representation of the true kernel, the approach does not perform well in choosing between alternative functions, rare, long-distance events may be masked if the propagule lands near another source (Greene et al. 2004) and clumping of propagules o”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, result): “Overall, the use of the lognormal distribution function works well, since it is flexible enough to fit a range of observed seed dispersal curves, and provides a framework for mechanistic interpretation compared to other approaches (Greene et al., 2004).”
Developmental changes in habitat associations of tropical trees (2007, background): “There has also been debate in the literature about which dispersal kernel function provides the most accurate description of true seed dispersal patterns (Clark et al . 1999; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000; Greene et al . 2004 ).”
Interspecific variation in primary seed dispersal in a tropical forest (2008, methodology): “The other dispersal kernels we fitted included the Gaussian (Clark et al. 1998), one-dimensional exponential (Turchin 1998), two-dimensional exponential, exponential family (Ribbens et al. 1994), Bessel function (Turchin 1998), full 2DT (Clark et al. 1999), lognormal ( Greene et al. 2004 ), and Weib”
A synthesis of empirical plant dispersal kernels (2017, background): “Greene et al. (2004), again considering trees from a variety of studies, found the log-normal performed better than the 2Dt or Weibull.”
