- Observation Trunk shape of tree species in a Central African semi-deciduous forest changed significantly between 2014 and 2021, with a mean change of 0.55±0.16 towards more irregular shapes.
- Association Trees developing highly irregular trunk shapes over time were generally large canopy trees with expansive crowns.
- Observation Tree species with very irregular trunk shapes tend to be large trees with wide, deep crowns, low wood density and deciduous habit.
- Observation Tree species with very irregular trunk shapes tend not to require light and to be wind-dispersed.
