Summary 1 This article reviews the application of some summary statistics from current
theory of spatial point processes for extracting information from spatial patterns of plants …

Summary 1 Root competition is defined as a reduction in the availability of a soil resource to
roots that is caused by other roots. Resource availability to competitors can be affected …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

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 …

Competition is a key process in plant populations and communities. We thus need, if we are
to predict the responses of ecological systems to environmental change, a comprehensive …

Des indices qui permettent de quantifier la structure spatiale de la forêt sont fréquemment
utilisés pour faire le suivi de l'aspect spatial des attributs des arbres, incluant la biodiversité …

Mangrove ecosystems are considered vulnerable to climate change as coastal development
limits the ecosystem services and adaptations important to their survival. Although they …

At global and regional scales, tree mortality rates are positively correlated with forest net
primary productivity (NPP). Yet causes of the correlation are unknown, in spite of potentially …

Despite the increasing use of standards for documenting and testing agent-based models
(ABMs) and sharing of open access code, most ABMs are still developed from scratch. This …

Competition is known to be a key driver of plant population dynamics. However,
understanding how different types of competitive processes interact with population structure …
