Tamm Review: On the strength of evidence when comparing ecosystem functions of mixtures with monocultures (2015, background): “Conversely, the stand density of mixtures relative to monocultures may be increased when mixed stands are more resistant to windthrow, bark beetle attacks, or snow damage (Griess and Knoke, 2011; Griess et al., 2012).”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, background): “The influence of competition has been debated, as some studies found it to have a significant influence (Giardina and Ryan, 2002), while others have found it to be independent of tree density (Litton et al., 2007).”
A test of the hydraulic limitation hypothesis in fast‐growing Eucalyptus saligna (2003, background): “However, direct measurements of below-ground allocation did not increase with tree height and stand age (Smith & Resh 1999; Giardina & Ryan 2002) and respiration costs for woody tissue did not increase with increasing tree size or age (Ryan & Waring 1992), so there is no direct evidence that…”
Mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus with nitrogen-fixing trees: A review (2006, background): “…have been variable, documenting increases, decreases and no change in belowground C fluxes with increasing nutrient supply 10 (Haynes and Gower, 1995; Ryan et al., 1996; Keith et al., 1997; Raich, 1998; Zak and Pregitzer, 1998; Pongracic, 2001; Giardina and Ryan, 2002; Giardina et al., 2003).”
AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE CAUSES OF FOREST GROWTH DECLINE WITH STAND AGE (2004, methodology): “Live fine-root biomass (,2 mm diameter) was measured using three cores per plot in October 1995 and January 1996 and 15 cores per plot in August 1999 (Giardina and Ryan 2002).”
Bamboo based agroforestry systems in Kerala, India: performance of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) in the subcanopy of differentially spaced seven year-old bamboo stand (2015, background): “It is well known that trees allocate a large proportion of gross primary production belowground for the production and maintenance of roots and mycorrhizae (Giardina and Ryan 2002 ) and bamboo is no exception to that general rule.”
Below‐ground carbon flux and partitioning: global patterns and response to temperature (2008, methodology): “See Giardina & Ryan (2002) for a more complete discussion of terminology and methods for quantifying TBCF in forest ecosystems.”
Primary production and carbon allocation in relation to nutrient supply in a tropical experimental forest (2003, methodology): “A change in the biomass of coarse roots was estimated from the change in aboveground biomass (measured quarterly) using a regression between coarse root biomass (42 mm) and aboveground biomass (Giardina & Ryan, 2002), where coarse root biomass (kg)5 0.19 CW (kg).”
