• Species-habitat associations change in a subtropical forest of China (2009, background): “…of species with topographic and edaphic habitat factors at local scales in large forest plots worldwide (e.g., Harms et al. 2001; Debski et al. 2002; Itoh et al. 2003; Sri-Ngernyuang et al. 2003; Valencia et al. 2004; Gunatilleke et al. 2006; Yamada et al. 2006; Queenborough et al. 2007).”
• EDAPHIC SPECIALIZATION IN TROPICAL TREES: PHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATES AND RESPONSES TO RECIPROCAL TRANSPLANTATION (2005, background): “5 E-mail: jbaltzer@oeb.harvard.edu observation that many tropical tree species are distributed nonrandomly among edaphic patch types suggests that edaphic heterogeneity strongly influences species diversity in a given locality (Lescure and Boulet 1985, Webb and Peart 2000, Itoh et al. 2003).”
• Distribution patterns of tropical woody species in response to climatic and edaphic gradients (2012, background): “…are complex, because the impact of low rainfall can be mitigated by soil water reserves influenced by topography, soil texture and soil depth (Itoh et al. 2003; Markesteijn et al. 2010) and a variety of drought avoidance mechanisms in trees (Nepstad et al. 1994; Engelbrecht et al. 2007;…”
