Disturbance regimes, gap‐demanding trees and seed mass related to tree height in warm temperate rain forests worldwide
For tropical lowland rain forests, Denslow (1987) hypothesized that in areas with large‐scale
disturbances tree species with a high demand for light make up a larger proportion of the …

Microhabitat variation affects the understory community assembly of a neotropical rainforest
Deterministic and stochastic processes combine with biotic interactions in community
assembly. Stochasticity and biotic interactions are thought to operate on fine scales, and …
