Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial ecology of a root parasite – from pattern to process
TL;DR: It is suggested that host quality may act as an important constraint, with only those acacias growing in or near the creek-line being physiologically capable of supporting a parasite to maturity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of tropical forests and sphere packings.
Franziska Taubert,Markus Jahn,Hans-Juergen Dobner,Thorsten Wiegand,Andreas Huth,Andreas Huth +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that tree diameter distributions of natural tropical forests can be explained by stochastic packing of tree crowns representing a forest crown packing system: a method usually used in physics or chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical Note: Approximate Bayesian parameterization of a process-based tropical forest model
TL;DR: Simulation-based inference, which offers considerable conceptual advantages over more traditional methods for inverse parameter estimation, can be successfully applied to process-based models of high complexity, particularly suitable for heterogeneous and complex data structures and can easily be adjusted to other model types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring spatiotemporal patterns in early stages of primary succession on former lignite mining sites
Birgit Felinks,Thorsten Wiegand +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, individual plants were mapped along a 2 m × 28 m transect during three successive years and classified into two groups (1) the pioneer Corynephorus canescens and (2) ‘all other species’.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unravelling conflicting density- and distance-dependent effects on plant reproduction using a spatially explicit approach
José M. Fedriani,José M. Fedriani,José M. Fedriani,Thorsten Wiegand,Gemma Calvo,Alberto Suárez-Esteban,Alberto Suárez-Esteban,Miguel Jácome,Magdalena Żywiec,Miguel Delibes +9 more
TL;DR: The combination of novel and classic mark correlation functions used here constitutes a powerful spatially explicit tool that can be broadly applied to unravel conflicting mechanisms of DDD regulating the persistence of sessile organisms at a range of spatial scales.
