Mortality and recruitment rates are fundamental measures of population dynamics.
Ecologists and others have defined and estimated these vital rates in various ways. We …

Aim Tropical forests have been recognized as important global carbon sinks and sources.
However, many uncertainties about the spatial distribution of live tree above‐ground …

Mangroves are mainly tropical tree species that occur on either side of the equator and
because temperature decreases with increasing latitude, the latitudinal limits of mangroves …

Previous attempts to quantify tree abundance at global scale have largely neglected the role
of local competition in modulating the influence of climate and soils on tree density. Here, we …

growth and secondary forests along an elevational gradient in Mexico. Bot. sci [online] …

Floristic variation is high in the Neotropics, but little is known about the factors shaping this
variation at the mesoscale. We examined floristic composition and its relationship with …

This paper aimed to explore the division of the southern and northern Hengduan Mountains
based on gradients in species similarity and richness, and to analyze species richness in …

Knowledge of fundamental aspects of ecology such as species richness and distribution,
and the factors affecting them, is increasingly used to identify priority areas for conservation …

The functions of peatlands (peat soils) can be considered based on their two main
elements:(1) the peat matter and (2) the water. Peat Matter: Peat matter is composed of …

We studied the potential responses of forest vegetation to climate change in South Korea
using a Korea-specific forest cover distribution model based on hydrological and thermal …
