Climatic constraints on trait-based forest assembly

TL;DR: The maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model of trait-based community assembly using forest communities occurring along a 12 � C gradient of mean annual temperature is evaluated and performs moderately well in predicting forest community structure using empirical trait–environment relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in modeling trait-based plant community assembly

TL;DR: Two new trait-based models of community assembly that predict the relative abundance of species from a regional species pool are examined that could be used to define the range of natural variability of community composition in restoration projects.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Net Effect of Functional Traits on Fitness.

TL;DR: A diversity of approaches to quantify intrinsic growth rates of plant populations are described, including experiments beyond range boundaries, density-dependent population models built from long-term demographic data, theoretical models, and methods that leverage widely available monitoring data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pine-oak forest dynamics five years after ecological restoration treatments, Arizona, USA

TL;DR: Five years after ecological restoration treatments in a ponderosa pine-Gambel oak forest, permanent plots were re-measured to assess changes in forest structure and understory vegetation and tree growth differed significantly by species and treatment.
