Photosynthetic plasticity of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings to light intensity and soil moisture (2007, background): “Heliophytic tree species have characteristics that favor high-light growth, which include higher relative growth rates and higher respiration under all environmental conditions (Larcher, 2003; Kneeshaw et al., 2006; Niinemets, 2006).”
Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis. (2009, background): “However, changes in TNC alone can invariably have leaves with higher LMA (Thomas & Winner, only explain part of the diurnal variation, implying that other 2002; Niinemets, 2006).”
Direct and indirect effects of tree canopy facilitation in the recruitment of Mediterranean oaks (2014, background): “While soil moisture and temperature are critical factors determining survival during the establishment phase, light, which influences growth rate (along with soil moisture), may become more important in later plant life stages (Niinemets 2006; Zavala et al. 2011).”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “Consequently, their requirement for light increases with their size (Givnish 1988; Niinemets 2006; Poorter et al. 2012).”
A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, background): “1998), reflecting greater light requirement of older and larger trees (Niinemets 2006; Sheil et al. 2006).”
Determinants of whole‐plant light requirements in Bornean rain forest tree saplings (2007, background): “One caveat of the above conclusions is that physiological traits contributing to species shade tolerance, such as Rd, Amax, and LMA, are known to vary with plant size and age (Thomas & Winner 2002; Niinemets 2006).”
Height competition between Quercus petraea and Fagus sylvatica natural regeneration in mixed and uneven-aged stands (2013, background): “Growth ranking might depend on ontogeny, tree size (Balandier et al., 2007; Delagrange et al., 2004; Niinemets, 2006)”
