[HTML][HTML] 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 …
