Understanding processes underlying spatial distribution of tree species is fundamental to studying species coexistence and diversity. This study modeled point patterns of tree distribution, expressed ...

Tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme windstorm events cause millions of dollars in structural damage and related losses each year. They can also significantly damage ecosystems systems, driving ...

Spatial patterns of trees >10 cm dbh were studied in a 4-ha forest plot on St. John, United States Virgin Islands, by measuring nearest-neighbor distance for 28 tree species and mapping 5 uncommon ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species – the “family tree” of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...
