• The effect of light conditions on herbs, bryophytes and seedlings of temperate mixed forests in Őrség, Western Hungary (2009, unknown): “) and on the woody and herbaceous understory (Collins and Pickett 1987, 1988; Schmidt et al. 1996; Emborg 1998; Schumann et al. 2003; Mihók et al. 2005).”
• Plant diversity of secondary forests in response to anthropogenic disturbance levels in montane regions of northeastern China (2007, methodology): “Different diversity indices were calculated using the following equations (Shannon and Weaver 1949; Berger and Parke 1970; Hill 1973; Magurran 1988 ;M a1994 ;M a and Liu 1994, 1995; Peltzer et al. 2000; Sagar et al. 2003; Schumann et al. 2003 ).”
• Evaluating partial cutting in broadleaved temperate forest under strong experimental control: Short-term effects on herbaceous plants (2005, background): “…after cutting, has been examined as a potentially sustainable form of management (Metzger and Schultz, 1984; Reader, 1987; Reader and Bricker, 1992a; Halpern and Spies, 1995; Brunet et al., 1996; Franklin and Kohm, 1997; Hunter, 1999; Sullivan et al., 2001; Nyland, 2002; Schumann et al., 2003).”
• Canopy gap size influences niche partitioning of the ground-layer plant community in a northern temperate forest (2013, result): “This could indicate that (i) the theory does not hold in these contexts of those studies, (ii) the range of openings examined may not have differed enough to identify partitioning (Collins and Pickett 1988a; Moore and Vankat 1986) or (iii) those studies specifically contained gaps with high gap edge”
