Description of the spatial structure of vegetation is the first step in generating hypotheses
regarding underlying processes. It is also important to take into account variation in spatial
structure between different localities to be able to distinguish between life history traits and
the influence of environment on population processes. Correlogram analysis was used to
examine spatial recruitment and mortality patterns of Aspidosperma polyneuron, an
emergent tree species, at Reserva Municipal de Santa Genebra (SG), a forest fragment in …
