Canopy effects on vegetation caused by harvesting and regeneration treatments (2010, background): “Some studies show strong, positive correlations between light availability and species fertility or number of inflorescences (Moola and Mallik 1998; Lindh and Muir 2004; Harrington 2006; Dorland and Willems 2006).”
Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “In addition, the maintenance of latesuccessional understory plant communities is becoming an increasingly common forest management objective creating a greater need for an understanding of the environmental conditions promoting the abundance of these species (Alaback, 1984; Bailey et al., 1998; Lind”
Ecology and silviculture of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.): a review (2017, background): “Selection cuttings (thinning) are important to reduce crown cover, and thus let more light in the stand, diversify vertical stand structure and initiate natural regeneration (Lindh and Muir 2004; Sullivan et al. 2009).”
Silviculture for old-growth attributes (2009, background): “However, after longer periods without larger disturbances, understorey species composition in thinned stands becomes more similar to old-growth than in unthinned stands (Bailey and Tappeiner, 1998; Lindh and Muir, 2004).”
