Seasonal variation of environment and conspecific density-dependence effects on early seedling growth of a tropical tree in semi-arid savannahs
Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain species coexistence and maintainance of local species diversity in tree communities. Among the proposed mechanisms, negative density dependence theory (NDD) predicts that seedling growth rate declines at high conspecific densities. However, local en...
