Error propagation in biomass estimation in tropical forests (2013, methodology): “Methods in Ecology and Evolution © 2012 British Ecological Society, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 4, 175–183 height modelling (Feldpausch et al. 2011; Lines et al. 2012), we believe that it is always better to use localmodels.”
Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees (2014, background): “These include climatic conditions (Wang et al., 2006; Nogueira et al., 2008b; Lines et al., 2012) and altitude (Grubb, 1977; Aiba & Kitayama, 1999; Lines et al., 2012; Marshall et al., 2012), but also local edaphic factors (Aiba & Kitayama, 1999; Kempes et al., 2011), evolutionary and architectural…”
Is drought the main decline factor at the rear edge of Europe? The case of southern Iberian pine plantations (2012, background): “Thus, artificial stands may face inevitable constraints on growth when crown height and water are simultaneously limiting (Lines et al., 2012).”
Contrasting vulnerability and resilience to drought-induced decline of densely planted vs. natural rear-edge Pinus nigra forests (2013, background): “Thus, densely planted stands may face inevitable constrains on growth when crown height and water are simultaneously limiting (Lines et al., 2012).”
Diversity and competition influence tree allometric relationships – developing functions for mixed‐species forests (2017, background): “shown to correlate with interspecific differences in tree-level allometry (Dietze, Wolosin & Clark 2008; Ducey 2012) and stand-level allometry (Woodall, Miles & Vissage 2005; Ducey & Knapp 2010), although no significant effect was found in Spanish forests (Lines et al. 2012).”
Crown plasticity enables trees to optimize canopy packing in mixed-species forests (2015, methodology): “For instance, under crowded conditions trees tend to invest heavily in height growth and less in crown development (Henry & Aarssen 1999; Muth & Bazzaz 2003; Lines et al. 2012).”
Competition for light and water play contrasting roles in driving diversity–productivity relationships in Iberian forests (2014, background): “…herbaceous species which rebuild most of their above-ground biomass each year, trees invest a considerable portion of their photosynthate into stems and branches, meaning that competition for light can have long-lasting effects on crown architecture (SchererLorenzen et al. 2007; Lines et al. 2012).”
