The need for a strict delimitation of early tree life stages in vegetation ecology

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: For practical and theoretical purposes, ecological studies commonly classify trees into five major life‐cycle stages: seed, seedling, sapling, juvenile and adult. Whereas the seed and adult stages are usually accurately delimited across studies, there are discrepancies and ambiguity in the categorization of seedlings, saplings and juveniles, which can significantly affect the conclusions of community ecology...
