Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus with nitrogen-fixing trees: A review
David I. Forrester,David I. Forrester,Jürgen Bauhus,Jürgen Bauhus,Annette Cowie,Jerome K. Vanclay +5 more
TL;DR: It appears as though eucalypts can benefit from fixed N as early as the first or second year following plantation establishment, and a meta-analysis of 18 published studies revealed several trials in which mixtures were significantly 15 (P<0.001) more productive than monocultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services
Eckehard G. Brockerhoff,Luc Barbaro,Bastien Castagneyrol,David I. Forrester,Barry Gardiner,José Ramón González-Olabarria,Phil O'b. Lyver,Nicolas Meurisse,Anne Oxbrough,Hisatomo Taki,Ian D. Thompson,Fons van der Plas,Hervé Jactel +12 more
TL;DR: A review of forest ecosystem services including biomass production, habitat provisioning services, pollination, seed dispersal, resistance to wind storms, fire regulation and mitigation, pest regulation of native and invading insects, carbon sequestration, and cultural ecosystem services, in relation to forest type, structure and diversity is provided in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial and temporal dynamics of species interactions in mixed-species forests: From pattern to process
TL;DR: This review examines how spatial and temporal differences in resource availability or climatic conditions can influence these interactions between species and how these interactions influence the growth of mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Processes Behind Diversity—Productivity Relationships in Forests
David I. Forrester,Jürgen Bauhus +1 more
TL;DR: This review indicates that while the effects of tree-species diversity on growth and other forest functions are now receiving a lot of attention, far less is known about the effects on growth or forest functioning and direct measurements of the processes could greatly contribute to the understanding of structural diversity effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of mixed tree plantations on the nutrition of individual species: a review
TL;DR: A better understanding of processes responsible for changes to tree productivity in mixed-species tree plantations can improve species, and within-species, selection so that the long-term outcome of mixtures is more predictable.
