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 …

[HTML][HTML] What is the potential for replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands to enhance ecosystem services in boreal forests in Fennoscandia?
The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of species interactions in mixed-species forests: from pattern to process
DI Forrester - Forest Ecology and Management, 2014 - Elsevier
Mixed-species forests and plantations sometimes have greater levels of ecosystem functions
and services, including productivity, than monocultures. However, this is not always the case …

Long-term response of forest productivity to climate change is mostly driven by change in tree species composition
Climate change affects ecosystem functioning directly through impacts on plant physiology,
resulting in changes of global productivity. However, climate change has also an indirect …

Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives
The growth and yield of mixed-species stands has become an important topic of research
since there are certain advantages of this type of forest as regards functions and services …

Tree species mixing can increase maximum stand density
H Pretzsch, P Biber - Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2016 - cdnsciencepub.com
Mixed-species stands are on the advance in Europe. They fulfil many functions better than
monocultures. Recent papers show that mixed stands can have higher yields, but it remains …

Mixing of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) enhances structural heterogeneity, and the effect increases with water availability
The mixing of tree species with complementary ecological traits may modify forest
functioning regarding productivity, stability, or resilience against disturbances. This may be …
