Scope and Contents

Contents

High tree species diversity in tropical forests is driven by reduced interspecific competition relative to intraspecific competition, as a result of the asynchronous timing of tree recruitment permitted by long and stable growing seasons.
Forest diversity with latitude
The number of tree species that coexist on a hectare scale rises by more t...
