Tropical secondary forests are increasingly important for carbon sequestration and
biodiversity conservation worldwide; yet, we still cannot accurately predict community …

Population ecology, the discipline that studies the dynamics of species' populations and how
they interact with the environment, has been one of the most prolific fields of ecology and …

Dynamic population models typically aim to predict demography and the resulting
population dynamics in relation to environmental variation. However, they rarely include the …

Background Within the highly bio-diverse 'Northern Vietnam Lowland Rain Forests
Ecoregion'only small, and mostly highly modified forestlands persist within vast exotic …

Tree mortality and recruitment are key factors influencing forest dynamics, but the driving
mechanisms of these processes remain unclear. To better understand these driving …

Senescence, an organismal performance decline with age, has historically been considered
a universal phenomenon by evolutionary biologists and zoologist. Yet, increasing fertility …

Natural and anthropogenic disturbances co‐occur in most systems, but how they interact to
shape demographic outcomes remains poorly understood. Such interactions may alter …

Introduction Clonal fragmentation helps to assess clonal plants' growth resilience to human
