Testing predictions of the J anzen–C onnell hypothesis: a meta‐analysis of experimental evidence for distance‐and density‐dependent seed and seedling survival
The J anzen– C onnell hypothesis proposes that specialist natural enemies, such as
herbivores and pathogens, maintain diversity in plant communities by reducing survival rates of …

Herbaceous plant diversity in forest ecosystems: patterns, mechanisms, and threats
Studies conducted in forests have resulted in much of the ecological theory we build upon
today. However, our basic understanding of forest ecology comes almost exclusively from the …

When and where plant‐soil feedback may promote plant coexistence: a meta‐analysis
Plant‐soil feedback (PSF) theory provides a powerful framework for understanding plant
dynamics by integrating growth assays into predictions of whether soil communities stabilise …

Above‐ground biomass is driven by mass‐ratio effects and stand structural attributes in a temperate deciduous forest
Forest ecosystems are critical for the global regulation of carbon (C), a substantial portion of

Density‐dependent survival varies with species life‐history strategy in a tropical forest
Species coexistence in diverse communities likely results from multiple interacting factors.
Mechanisms such as conspecific negative density dependence ( CNDD ) and varying life‐…

Effects of local biotic neighbors and habitat heterogeneity on tree and shrub seedling survival in an old-growth temperate forest
Seedling dynamics play a crucial role in determining species distributions and coexistence.
Exploring causes of variation in seedling dynamics can therefore provide key insights into …

Habitat niche partitioning by 16 species of Myristicaceae in Amazonian Ecuador
SA Queenborough, DFRP Burslem, NC Garwood… - Plant Ecology, 2007 - Springer
The distribution and spatial pattern of plants in tropical forests have important implications
for how species interact with each other and their environments. In this article we use a large-…

Species associations structured by environment and land‐use history promote beta‐diversity in a temperate forest
Patterns of diversity and community composition in forests are controlled by a combination
of environmental factors, historical events, and stochastic or neutral mechanisms. Each of …
