• Stand development and production dynamics of loblolly pine under a range of cultural treatments in north-central Florida USA (2004, background): “Smith and Long (2001) hypothesized that the postpeak LAI decline in growth observed in most even aged forests is an emergent stand dynamics property, independent of individual tree responses.”
• Production, allocation, and stemwood growth efficiency of Pinus taeda L. stands in response to 6 years of intensive management (2004, background): “Thus, shifts in LAI from ages 4 to 6 were possibly due to changes in canopy architecture associated with canopy closure (Smith and Long, 2001), mainly the loss of foliage in the lower canopy and redistribution of foliage to the upper canopy.”
• Age-related Decline in Forest Ecosystem Growth: An Individual-Tree, Stand-Structure Hypothesis (2002, background): “ Smith and Long (2001) asserted that the progressive redistribution of a constant amount of foliage into fewer, larger crowns should decrease the efficiency of dominant trees at the same time that competitive suppression decreased the efficiency of nondominant trees.”
• Age‐related decline of stand biomass accumulation is primarily due to mortality and not to reduction in NPP associated with individual tree physiology, tree growth or stand structure in a Quercus‐dominated forest (2012, background): “…leading to reductions in growth of individual trees (see review, Gower, McMurtrie & Murty 1996; Ryan, Binkley & Fownes 1997; Smith & Long 2001; Weiner & Thomas 2001), including (i) photosynthesis–respiration imbalance, (ii) increased nutrient limitation, (iii) increased…”
• Linkages between silviculture and ecology: examination of several important conceptual models (2004, background): “Stand-level leaf area, however, is close to its upper limit and, for practical purposes, stand growth is at its potential (Smith and Long, 2001).”
