Competition for light and water play contrasting roles in driving diversity–productivity relationships in Iberian forests (2014, background): “…trees which experience reduced competition for light from neighbours have been shown to invest a greater portion of their resources in expanding their crowns, thereby reinforcing the beneficial effects of diversity on growth (Pretzsch & Sch€utze 2005; Kim et al. 2011; Dieler & Pretzsch 2013).”
Crown plasticity enables trees to optimize canopy packing in mixed-species forests (2015, background): “However, much of our current understanding of how diversity influences canopy packing is based on a few well documented examples, such as the benefits of mixing European beech and Norway spruce (Pretzsch & Schütze 2005; Bayer, Seifert & Pretzsch 2013; Dieler & Pretzsch 2013; Pretzsch 2014).”
Tree ring wood density of Scots pine and European beech lower in mixed-species stands compared with monocultures (2017, background): “An increase in crown size in relation to stem size in mixed-species stands as reported by Dieler and Pretzsch (2013) and Pretzsch (2014) would mean that the overyielding is even higher when calculated for the total above-ground volume of mixed versus pure stands.”
Tree‐to‐tree competition in mixed European beech–Scots pine forests has different impacts on growth and water‐use efficiency depending on site conditions (2018, background): “Besides, beech may have overcome pine when competing for aboveand below- ground resources as a result of its highly efficient use of growing space (Dieler & Pretzsch, 2013) and highly competitive root system (Curt & Prevosto, 2003).”
Analyzing size-symmetric vs. size-asymmetric and intra- vs. inter-specific competition in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) mixed stands (2014, methodology): “Therefore, our selected option of using SDI with the exponent proposed by Reineke (1933), might be adequate in order not to include any assumption concerning mixing effect (Dieler and Pretzsch, 2013).”
Diversity and competition influence tree allometric relationships – developing functions for mixed‐species forests (2017, background): “…crown projection area declined with increasing competition, while height and live-crown length increased, consistent with other studies of crown projection area (Thorpe et al. 2010; Lines et al. 2012; Dieler & Pretzsch 2013), height (Lines et al. 2012) and live-crown length (Medhurst et al. 1999).”
Effects of crown architecture and stand structure on light absorption in mixed and monospecific Fagus sylvatica and Pinus sylvestris forests along a productivity and climate gradient through Europe (2018, background): “stand structure For a given diameter, F. sylvatica crowns in mixtures tended to widen and extend downwards, which is indicative of a reduction in competition for light in the mixtures (Dieler & Pretzsch, 2013; Forrester et al., 2017; Lines, Zavala, Purves, & Coomes, 2012).”
