TL;DR: The overall positive effect of mixing on light absorption was the result of a range of light-related interactions, but the relative importance of these interactions varied between sites and is likely to vary between other species combinations and as stands develop.
Relevance of Impact Categories and Applicability of Life Cycle Impact Assessment Methods from an Automotive Industry Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper , an approach for the identification of relevant impact categories is developed for the automotive sector together with Volkswagen AG, which is conducted using a criteria set including criteria groups “relevance for automotive sector” and “relevant for stakeholders”.
Influence of crown and canopy structure on light absorption, light use efficiency, and growth in mixed and pure Pseudotsuga menziesii and Fagus sylvatica forests

TL;DR: Combining these species may not increase stand-level growth during later phases of development, but mixing accelerated initial growth of individual trees and reduced the time to reach target diameters, which are both important aspects in adapting forests to global change.
