Abstract: Abstract Topography creates contrasting microclimates, especially between northern and southern slopes in drylands, which result in clear differences of tree cover patterns in the landscape. These local-scale differences in tree cover patterns may result from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-04314-3
Abstract: Plant ontogenetic stage and features of surrounding plant neighbourhoods can strongly influence herbivory and defences on focal plants. However, the effects of both factors have been assessed independently in previous studies. Here we tested for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f11010120
Abstract: Research Highlights: We proposed new methodologies for the spatial analysis of regeneration processes and compared with existing approaches. Background and Objectives: Identifying the spatial relationship between adult trees and new cohorts is fundamental to understanding… read more here.
