About Lourens Poorter

Lourens Poorter, With an exceptional h-index of 103 and a recent h-index of 80 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Wageningen Universiteit, specializes in the field of functional traits, ecology, community assembly, species coexistence, secondary forests.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Drought-and heat-induced mortality of conifer trees is explained by leaf and growth legacies

A comprehensive framework for vegetation succession

Stem decomposition of temperate tree species is determined by stem traits and fungal community composition during early stem decay

Teasing apart the role of late Pleistocene human arrival and megafauna extinction on Amazonian tree composition

Height growth and biomass partitioning during secondary succession differ among forest light strata and successional guilds in a tropical rainforest

Consistent climatic controls of global wood density among angiosperms and gymnosperms

Feedback loops drive ecological succession: towards a unified conceptual framework

Lianas shift towards larger sizes and more acquisitive trait values in an Asian tropical rainforest
