Treefall gaps and the maintenance of species diversity in a tropical forest
SA Schnitzer, WP Carson - Ecology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
The maintenance of species diversity by treefall gaps is a long‐standing paradigm in forest
ecology. Gaps are presumed to provide an environment in which tree species of differing …

A neighborhood analysis of tree growth and survival in a hurricane‐driven tropical forest
We present a likelihood‐based regression method that was developed to analyze the effects
of neighborhood competitive interactions and hurricane damage on tree growth and …
