When plants are competing, larger individuals often obtain a disproportionate share of the contested resources and suppress the growth of their smaller neighbors, a phenomenon …

Summary 1 Many theoretical models have been proposed to explain the empirical self‐ thinning relationship given by Yoda et al. in 1963 for even‐aged, monospecific stands of …
Patterns of size inequality in crowded plant populations are often taken to be indicative of the degree of size asymmetry of competition, but recent research suggests that some of the …
Summary 1 Asymmetric competition is an unequal division of resources amongst competing plants. Thus, competition may be asymmetric in the sense that some individuals remove a …
In no area of ecology is the role of space more fundamental than in the study of plant communities (Hutchings 1986; Crawley and May 1987). Individual plants are rooted in one …
Size‐asymmetric competition among plants is usually defined as resource pre‐emption by larger individuals, but it is usually observed and measured as a disproportionate size …

Summary 1 We modelled the growth in estimated biomass of individuals in experimental populations of Chenopodium album grown at two densities and measured sequentially nine …
We examine use of the neighborhood approach for quantifying interspecific competition around Douglas‐fir seedlings that were planted in early‐successional forest vegetation. We …
