Divergent reproductive allocation trade‐offs with canopy exposure across tree species in temperate forests

Abstract Variation in tree reproduction can alter forest community dynamics, especially if reproductive output is costly for other functions like growth. However, empirical studies reach conflicting conclusions about the constraints on reproductive allocation relative to growth and how they vary thr...
