Seedling Survival of Tropical Tree Species: Interactions of Dispersal Distance, Light‐Gaps, and Pathogens

This study tested the hypotheses that seed dispersal enhances seedling survival by (1) escape of distance—dependent or density—dependent mortality or both, and (2) colonization of light—gaps. Spatial patterns of seedling survival for 1 yr in shade and in light—gaps and causes of seedling mortality f... View More
