Comparative Analyses and Phylogenetic Dependence in Traits and Trends of the Dipterocarpaceae by Nazrin Malik, David Edwards, Robert P. Freckleton

“…Morphological traits including height and diameter show phylogenetically dependent relationships with soil type, while shade tolerance traits are related to survival. We find that conservation status is related to phylogeny and correlated with population trend status, suggesting that decreasing population trends correlated with conservation status. …”

Research on the quantitative relationship between stress shadow effect of multiple thick and hard key layers and surface subsidence by Jianqiao Luo, Yupeng Shen, Xin Meng, Tuo Yang

“…Research on numerical simulation experiments and theoretical calculations via mechanical models suggests that the presence of multiple thick and hard key strata in the overlying rocks plays a crucial role in controlling surface displacement through the interlayer shading effect. A comparison of three mining methods, namely, fully mechanized top-coal caving with a large mining height (CMTC), longwall mining with a large mining height and full-height cutting (LMHT), and layered fully mechanized top-coal caving (LCMTC), reveals peak surface displacements of 3.818 m (CMTC), 3.649 m (LMHT), and 3.32 m (LCMTC), respectively, and peak vertical stresses of 7.3 MPa (CMTC), 5.9 MPa (LMHT), and 8.3 MPa (LCMTC), respectively. …”
