Journal ArticleDOI
The maintenance of species-richness in plant communities: the importance of the regeneration niche
TL;DR: It is shown that when an individual dies, it may or may not be replaced by an individual of the same species, which is all‐important to the argument presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Forest Growth and Distribution on Wet Tropical Mountains: with Special Reference to Mineral Nutrition
TL;DR: On the wetter slope s of the highest tropical mountains, where man's depradations are not in evidence, a continuous forest cover may be found from sea level to an altitude of about 4000 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of root competition in forests and woodlands: a theoretical framework and review of experiments
David A. Coomes,Peter J. Grubb +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a worldwide review of changes in canopy form and fine-root mass along gradients of soil fertility and seasonal drought, keeping in mind the stages of forest development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonization, tolerance, competition and seed-size variation within functional groups
David A. Coomes,Peter J. Grubb +1 more
TL;DR: Although there is evidence from studies within functional groups that seed size does trade off against number of seeds and dispersal of those seeds, and that seed Size is correlated with competitive ability among seedlings and tolerance of hazards during establishment, the available evidence suggests that SNSS tradeoffs do not make possible long-term coexistence without other forms of niche differentiation.
