Functional role of forest diversity: Pros and cons of synthetic stands and across-site comparisons in established forests (2009, methodology): “While the problem of covarying factors is particularly severe in such cross-site comparisons, it is also inherent to most tree diversity experiments simply because of the large size of the field sites needed (Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2005).”
Transgressive overyielding in mixed compared with pure stands of Norway spruce and European beech in Central Europe: evidence on stand level and explanation on individual tree level (2009, background): “Evaluation of the very few available long-term experiments considering above ground stem biomass production showed, that mixture can result in a productivity of -20 to +10% compared to pure stands, depending on given site conditions (Pretzsch 2005).”
Toward managing mixed-species stands: from parametrization to prescription (2017, background): “2010), and the functional significance of species diversity (Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2005).”
Functional diversity changes during tropical forest succession (2012, background): “…empirical data showing how functional diversity aries across environmental and successional gradients in forests, espite their importance for maintaining ecosystem functioning Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2005, but see; Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 007; Baraloto et al., 2010a; Paquette and Messier, 2011).”
