High-dimensional coexistence of temperate tree species: functional traits, demographic rates, life-history stages, and their physical context.
Theoretical models indicate that trade-offs between growth and survival strategies of tree species can lead to coexistence across life history stages (ontogeny) and physical conditions experienced by individuals. There exist predicted physiological mechanisms regulating these trade-offs, such as an...
