A review of processes behind diversity—productivity relationships in forests

DI Forrester, J Bauhus - Current Forestry Reports, 2016 - Springer
Through complementarity interactions, mixed-species forests can be more productive than
monocultures, and this effect can increase with tree-species richness. However, this is not …

Composition of fungal and bacterial communities in forest litter and soil is largely determined by dominant trees

M Urbanová, J Šnajdr, P Baldrian - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2015 - Elsevier
In forest ecosystems, trees represent the major primary producers and affect the chemical
composition and microbial processes in the ecosystem via specific litter chemistry and …

Linking forest growth with stand structure: Tree size inequality, tree growth or resource partitioning and the asymmetry of competition

DI Forrester - Forest Ecology and Management, 2019 - Elsevier
Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …
