Ontogeny influences tree growth response to soil fertility and neighbourhood crowding in an old-growth temperate forest.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Abiotic and biotic factors simultaneously affect tree growth and thus shape community structure and dynamics. In particular, trees of different size classes show different growth responses to soil nutrients and neighbourhood crowding, but our understanding of how species' joint responses to these factors vary between size classes remains limited in multi-storied temperate forests. Here, we...
