The reason why so many tree species can coexist in species-rich forests has long been a subject of debate in ecology. This question is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the dynamics and ...
The spatial distribution of tree species in species-rich tropical forests is highly complex. The figure shows the spatial position, species identity (color) and size of individual trees in a 500 m × ...
The data sets are very large: with more than 75 permanent forest dynamics plots in 29 countries worldwide, the Forest Global Earth Observatory network (ForestGEO) of the Smithsonian Tropical Research ...
