A forest structure model that determines crown layers and partitions growth and mortality rates for landscape‐scale applications of tropical forests (2012, methodology): “…is relatively sparse and species diversity relatively poor comparedwith tropical forests, this simple layering scheme approximates the structure and dynamics of a detailed, spatially explicit model that allows realistic and complex crown displacement and tessellation (Strigul et al. 2008).”
Effect of tree species mixing on the size structure, density, and yield of forest stands (2015, background): “dominant sample trees) to mixing effects at stand level can be misleading (Strigul et al. 2008; Webster and Lorimer 2003).”
Scaling from individual trees to forests in an Earth system modeling framework using a mathematically tractable model of height-structured competition (2015, methodology): “The PPA model allows for flexibility in the shapes of individual tree crowns (Strigul et al., 2008; Purves et al., 2007), but, for simplicity, here we assume that trees have flat-topped crowns, which allows for accurate predictions of observed succession and canopy structure in broadleaved…”
Competition and tree crowns: a neighborhood analysis of three boreal tree species. (2010, methodology): “More realistic models of crown shape have been developed recently (Purves et al., 2007; Strigul et al., 2008).”
Mechanisms of plant competition for nutrients, water and light (2013, background): “However, the recently proposed perfect plasticity approximation (Strigul et al. 2008; Dybzinski et al. 2011) provides, in the special case of old growth, equilibrial forests, a closed form expression for the fitness, W, of an individual in the context of height-structured light competition:”
Vegetation demographics in Earth System Models: A review of progress and priorities (2018, background): “ED2 is coupled to the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) (Knox et al., 2015; Swann, Longo, Knox, Lee, & Moorcroft, 2015).”
Influence of four major plant traits on average height, leaf‐area cover, net primary productivity, and biomass density in single‐species forests: a theoretical investigation (2011, methodology): “…have sought ways to approximate the collective dynamics of heterogeneous populations (Sinko & Streifer 1967; Levin & Paine 1974; Levin et al. 1997; de Roos 1997), leading to the development of PDE-based models (Kohyama 1993; Moorcroft, Hurtt & Pacala 2001; Strigul et al. 2008; Medvigy et al. 2009).”
The tree mortality regime in temperate old-growth coniferous forests: the role of physical damage (2010, background): “Current theory reflects the belief that forest structure and dynamics can be understood as the outcome of the acquisition and utilization of resources essential for the maintenance of physiological processes (Pacala et al. 1996; Strigul et al. 2008; Enquist et al. 2009).”
