Tree species classification using structural features derived from terrestrial laser scanning (2020, background): “In contrast, small species enhance current light interception by making wide and long crowns (Kohyama et al., 2003; Poorter et al., 2003).”
Alternative height strategies among 45 dicot rain forest species from tropical Queensland, Australia (2005, background): “Other work has indicated increased lateral spread of similar sized saplings for shorter species in a light gradient (Sterck et al. 2001; Poorter et al. 2003).”
Land-plant ecology on the basis of functional traits. (2006, background): “† There is a spectrum of canopy height at maturity, with taller ﬁnal height trading off with rapid early height growth or with tolerance of low light [29,30].”
Closing a gap in tropical forest biomass estimation: taking crown mass variation into account in pantropical allometries (2016, background): “Identifying predictable patterns of crown mass ratio variation, as performed for crown size allometries specific to some functional groups (Poorter et al., 2003, 2006; Van Gelder et al., 2006), therefore appears to be a potential way to improve allometric-model performance.”
The contribution of interspecific variation in maximum tree height to tropical and temperate diversity (2005, methodology): “A number of methods have been used to estimate maximum height per species including asymptotic approaches (Thomas 1996) and the choice of the 95th percentile in height among all trees greater than 5 or 10 cm dbh (Kohyama et al. 2003, Poorter et al. 2003).”
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): “Analogously, mature shade-tolerant tropical evergreen trees typically have extended crowns while intolerant species have short crowns (Poorter et al. 2000, 2006; see also ‘‘Plant age and light harvesting from leaf to stand’’).”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “…(especially as manifested in the shade-tolerance continuum), and reproduction vs. persistence (as manifested in the continuum of adult tree stature) (Loehle 2000, Turner 2001, Poorter et al. 2003, 2006, Falster and Westoby 2005, Nascimento et al. 2005, Bohlman and O’Brien 2006, Wright et al. 2010).”
Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, methodology): “The species grouping at M’Baïki was consistent with those established in other moist forests (Lieberman et al. 1985; Swaine & Whitmore 1988; Condit, Hubbell & Foster 1996; Favrichon 1998; Poorter et al. 2003; Nascimento et al. 2005; Chazdon et al. 2010) and conformed to the big picture that species ”
Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “For these species the extension function of tree architecture (an efficient height increase per unit biomass invested) is more important than the light interception function (Poorter et al. 2003).”
Demographic and life-history correlates for Amazonian trees (2005, background): “…height and crown shape, also vary greatly among species and can be correlated with factors such as tree age, successional status, growth form, local environmental conditions, and phylogenetic affinities (Williamson 1984; Primack et al. 1985; O’Brien et al. 1995; Turner 2001; Poorter et al. 2003).”
The role of wood density and stem support costs in the growth and mortality of tropical trees (2006, background): “Thus, support costs may be negatively correlated with adult stature ( Poorter et al. 2003 ).”
