Ecology cannot yet fully explain why so many tree species coexist in natural communities
such as tropical forests. A major difficulty is linking individual-level processes to community …

Ecologists often employ cost-effective strategies such as quadrat sampling for field-based
biodiversity assessments. While the negative binomial distribution (NBD) is widely used to …

Topographic heterogeneity and lateral subsurface flow at the hillslope scale of≤ 1 km may
have outsized impacts on tropical forest through their impacts on water available to plants …

Ecologists and economists both use models to help develop strategies for biodiversity
management. The practical use of disciplinary models, however, can be limited because …

Here, we characterize the temporal and spatial dynamics of forest community structure and
species diversity in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in China. We found that …

Network analysis is an important tool to analyze the structure of complex systems such as
tropical forests. Here, we infer spatial proximity networks in tropical forests by using network …

Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) has been highlighted as a main driver of
biodiversity maintenance. However, while there is general consensus on the scale …

The imprudent cultivation of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica has led to degradation in the
watersheds surrounding Chongli County. This study investigates the artificial forests of P …

Dispersal mechanism, species height, sexual system, and wood density are potential drivers
of the spatial distribution pattern of tropical tree populations. These traits are usually …
