Ovenden T (2019) Climate change: having the right combination of tree 'personalities' could make forests more resilient. The Conversation. 10.07.2019.
Abstract
First paragraph: Every tree in a forest has a neighbour. In many forest neighbourhoods, the same species are often found living together, especially when the growing conditions are similar. Sometimes these neighbours are close and sometimes far apart, but collectively they form part of a community, with some species naturally being more dominant than others, especially in terms of biomass production. But what happens when the going gets tough? A drought is coming and there’ll be winners and losers.
