Mixed-species forest stands are well explored in their favourable ecological, economical,
and socio-economical functions and services compared with pure stands, but still poorly …

Summary 1 This article reviews the application of some summary statistics from current
theory of spatial point processes for extracting information from spatial patterns of plants …

Due to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to
unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous …

It has been suggested that diverse forests utilize canopy space more efficiently than species‐
poor ones, as mixing species with complementary architectural and physiological traits …

Tree crown size determines among others tree's growth, carbon sequestration, shading,
filtering of fine air particulates, and risk of wind-breaking. The dependence of crown size on …

Forest ecosystem models based on heuristic water stress functions poorly predict tropical
forest response to drought partly because they do not capture the diversity of hydraulic traits …

How ecologists think about above‐ground forest structure and dynamics is fundamentally
shaped by the data we can collect. This has historically been limited to what is possible with …

Despite its importance for forest regeneration, food webs, and human economies, changes
in tree fecundity with tree size and age remain largely unknown. The allometric increase with …

Despite a long history of discussion of 'non‐stationarity'in dendrochronology, researchers
and modellers in diverse fields commonly rely on the implicit assumption that tree growth …

Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic
agents (ie, individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally …
