Improved productivity and modified tree morphology of mixed versus pure stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) with increasing precipitation and age (2016, background): “It is known that introducing additional tree species in pure stands can increase overall biodiversity (Felton et al. 2010; Cavard et al. 2011) and decrease the risk of pest outbreaks (Kelty 1992; Montagnini et al. 1995; Jactel and Brockerhoff 2007).”
Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “However, a lot of these studies have been carried out in grasslands (Siemann et al. 1998, Haddad et al. 2009, Scherber et al. 2010), while fewer have been conducted in mature forest stands (Sobek et al. 2009, Cavard et al. 2011, Fornoff et al. 2019).”
