Ecological importance of large-diameter trees in a temperate mixed-conifer forest.

Ecological importance of large-diameter trees in a temperate mixed-conifer forest.

Large-diameter trees dominate the structure, dynamics and function of many temperate and tropical forests. Although both scaling theory and competition theory make predictions about the relative composition and spatial patterns of large-diameter trees compared to smaller diameter trees, these predic...
