Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Pathogen incidence on woody seedlings was greatest in the youngest sites and decreased with increasing forest age.
- Association Pathogen incidence was positively related to site-level seedling abundance, more strongly in younger forest sites.
- Association Liana and tree seedlings had similar pathogen incidence.
- Association Within tree species, pathogen incidence varied with species position on life-history trade-offs.
- Association The fast-growing advantage in pathogen incidence reversed with increasing forest age.
