Small-scale gap disturbance in forests is reviewed. Caused by the death of individual or
multiple trees with subsequent fall from the canopy, gaps have been extensively studied in …

Studies that are unprecedented in scale, detail or approach show that niche partitioning
contributes less, and chance events more, than expected to maintaining tree species …

The extensive literature on natural disturbance in forests is reviewed in terms of the
hypotheses:(1) that disturbance is a major force moulding the development, structure and …

With a view toward understanding species‐specific differences in juvenile tree mortality and
the community‐level implications of these differences, we characterized juvenile …

This new edition of a successful text, originally published in 1992, has been thoroughly
