Response of sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Marsh.) tree crown structure to competition in pure versus mixed stands (2016, result): “These results are also compatible with several studies showing the importance of tree crown plasticity in response to neighborhood species (Jucker et al., 2015; Lintunen and Kaitaniemi, 2010; Pretzsch, 2014; Thorpe et al., 2010).”
Is Tree Species Diversity or Species Identity the More Important Driver of Soil Carbon Stocks, C/N Ratio, and pH? (2016, background): “Aboveground productivity as well as basal area in the studied plots 351 were unaffected by diversity (Jucker et al., 2014; Jucker et al., 2015), so we expect litterfall would have been 352 unchanged along the diversity gradient.”
Toward managing mixed-species stands: from parametrization to prescription (2017, background): “Given complementarity of morphological and physiological traits, the canopy space of mixed species stands can be much more densely packed than in monocultures (Jucker et al. 2015, Pretzsch 2014).”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “Vegetation dynamics and succession in many communities is primarily driven by interspecific differences in resource uptake and stress tolerance, with light frequently being a key resource (Canham et al. 1994; Jucker et al. 2015; Zhang et al. 2015).”
Above‐ground biomass is driven by mass‐ratio effects and stand structural attributes in a temperate deciduous forest (2018, background): “Vertically stratified and densely packed canopies intercept more light and exhibit enhanced productivity (Jucker et al., 2015).”
