A large number of methods for the analysis of point pattern data have been developed in a
wide range of scientific fields. First‐order statistics describe large‐scale variation in the …

Individual-based forest ecology and management, where the focus is on individual plants in
the context of their populations, draws on a large body of different quantitative methods that …

Spatial point pattern analysis provides a statistical method to compare an observed spatial
pattern against a hypothesized spatial process model. The G statistic, which considers the …

We describe a range of methods for the description and analysis of spatial point patterns in
plant ecology. The conceptual basis of the methods is presented, and specific tests are …

The relationship between species diversity and sampled area is fundamental to ecology.
Traditionally, theories of the species–area relationship have been dominated by random …

Clustering at multiple critical scales may be common for plants since many different factors
and processes may cause clustering. This is especially true for tropical rain forests for which …

Tree species in tropical rain forests exhibit a rich panoply of spatial patterns that beg
ecological explanation. The analysis of tropical census data typically relies on spatial …

常绿阔叶林是浙江省天目山国家级自然保护区重点保护植被类型, 研究常绿阔叶林优势种群及其
空间分布格局, 可正确认识优势种群在常绿阔叶林中的地位和作用, 为常绿阔叶林的保护和恢复 …

Effective management and restoration of ponderosa pine forests requires an understanding
of the heterogeneity of contemporary and historical stand structures. We assessed spatial …

Seed dispersal should leave a signature on the spatial distribution of recruits that can be
quantified using sophisticated techniques of spatial pattern analysis. Here we study spatial …
