Invertebrate predators drive distance-dependent patterns of seedling mortality in a temperate tree Acer pseudoplatanus
There is growing evidence that distance- and density-dependent recruitment are important factors in structuring tree communities in temperate forests. Although pathogens have generally been assumed to be driving these patterns, few studies have attempted to experimentally identify the agent responsi...
