Trees species’ dispersal mode and habitat heterogeneity shape negative density dependence in a temperate forest

Trees species’ dispersal mode and habitat heterogeneity shape negative density dependence in a temperate forest

Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is a potentially important mechanism in maintaining species diversity. While previous evidence showed habitat heterogeneity and species’ dispersal modes affect the strength of CNDD at early life stages of trees (e.g., seedlings), it remains unclear how...
