Ignacio M. Barberis; William B. Batista; Eduardo F. Pire; et al. Journal of Vegetation Science 2002. doi:10.1658/1100-9233(2002)013[0607:wpdaeh]2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Woody individual distribution related to local environmental heterogeneity.
- Association All size classes had their highest woody individual density on convex patches.
- Observation Convex patches were dominated by Acacia praecox and Achatocarpus praecox trees.
- Observation Convex patches were also dominated by three shrub species.
- Association Drier patches contained all woody species in the forest.
- Association Wetter patches contained only a subset of forest woody species.
- Association On convex patches, trees likely co-occurred with bromeliad colonies.
- Association On convex patches, shrubs likely occurred without bromeliads.
- Mechanism The authors suggest microrelief and soil moisture heterogeneity controls forest structure.
