Neighbourhood Species Richness Reduces Crown Asymmetry of Subtropical Trees in Sloping Terrain
Reforestation in sloping terrain is an important measure for soil erosion control and sustainable watershed management. The mechanical stability of such reforested stands, however, can be low due to a strong asymmetric shape of tree crowns. We investigated how neighbourhood tree species richness, ne...
