Illumination-size relationships of 109 coexisting tropical forest tree species

Illumination-size relationships of 109 coexisting tropical forest tree species

1 Competition for light is a central issue in ecological questions concerning forest tree differentiation and diversity. Here, using 213 106 individual stem records derived from a national survey in Ghana, West Africa, we examine the relationship between relative crown exposure, ontogeny and phyloge...
