Influence of wood density in tree-ring-based annual productivity assessments and its errors in Norway spruce

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of wood density variations in Norway spruce, and an allometric model of volume growth were developed to account for variations in wood density both between years and between trees, based on specific measurements.
Book ChapterDOI

Ecophysiological Characteristics of Mature Trees and Stands - Consequences for Old-Growth Forest Productivity

TL;DR: This chapter will review current hypotheses, first on the tree level, then on the stand level, as well as in the context of successional changes of community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential and limitations of inferring ecosystem photosynthetic capacity from leaf functional traits

TL;DR: Overall, this study provides an objective approach to identify links between leaf level traits and canopy level processes and highlights the relevance of the dynamic nature of ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant diversity effects on the water balance of an experimental grassland

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of plant species and functional richness and functional identity on soil water contents and water fluxes in the experimental grassland of the Jena Experiment were assessed.
