Declines of large vertebrates in tropical forests may reduce dispersal of tree species that rely
on them, and the resulting undispersed seedlings might suffer increased distance‐and …

We give a review of some recent ANOVA-like procedures for testing group differences based
on data in a metric space and present a new such procedure. Our statistic is derived from the …

Key message The dataset provides an exhaustive tree inventory with forest mensuration and
spatial location carried out in 54 plots sampled in 45-to 55-year-old black pine plantations …

Premise Agriculture expansion, livestock, and global change have transformed biological
communities and altered, through aerosols and direct deposition, N: P balance in soils of …

Hetero‐and conspecific interactions, nutrient availability, climate, habitat heterogeneity, and
disturbances can generate variation and spatial patterns of femaleness in plants. We …

Dispersal, population spatial structure and intraspecific density-dependent processes are
critical determinants of plant population dynamics. However, we lack empirical data on how …

Factorial experiments are well-understood when the given observations are outcomes of
random variables. However, when we observe spatial point patterns in each combination of …

Despite noticeable concern about the deforestation rate worldwide, the forest surface in
Europe has considerably expanded over the past centuries as a consequence of the rural …

This paper focuses on the use of the theory of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces in the
statistical analysis of replicated point processes. We show that spatial point processes can …

Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is a potentially important mechanism in
maintaining species diversity. While previous evidence showed habitat heterogeneity and …
