1 Tree‐ring analyses and dendrometer measurements were carried out on 37 tree species
in a semi‐deciduous forest of the Reserva Forestal de Caparo, Venezuela, where the mean …

In closed‐canopy forests, plant morphology and physiology determine shade tolerance and
potential growth and mortality rates; potential vital rates and ongoing gap dependence …

Summary 1 We quantified neighbourhood effects on sapling growth for 60 tree species in
the 50‐ha plot in Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Additionally, we tested whether target …

We present a likelihood‐based regression method that was developed to analyze the effects
of neighborhood competitive interactions and hurricane damage on tree growth and …

Tropical forests may have many species, indeterminate ages, and a wide range of growth
habits and stem sizes and thus require special modeling techniques. But technique …

Growth performance was assessed for a diverse suite of canopy and emergent tree species
in a lowland neotropical rain forest (the La Selva Biological Station, northeastern Costa …

Tree stature is an important ecological and silvicultural characteristic and the high diversity
of many tropical forests is associated with a broad range in species stature. A measure of …
