• Abstract

  Both abiotic conditions as the community's internal dynamics can act as ecological filters selecting the set of community-forming species and affecting its development. Individual trees of the forest canopy can affect directly and indirectly the dynamics and functioning of the ecosystem by altering the physical conditions of the environment or interacting directly with other community org…

• Abstract

  One of the main coexistence mechanisms is explained by niche theory and one of the approaches that have been employed to study it uses techniques that assess the spatial structure of plant populations. The aim of this study is to evaluate evidence of niche differentiation as coexistence mechanism investigating spatial patterns three congeners sympatric species in a Restinga Forest in Ubat…

• Abstract

  Clearings are an important component of tropical forest dynamics, promoting seedlings establishment, tree growth and reproduction. Seasonal Semi-Deciduous Forests (FES) are characterized by a dry season and wet season, which generates the so-called deciduousness gaps in the dry season, merged with the completion of the canopy in the wet season. If we consider light a limiting factor in th…

• Abstract

  The aggregated spatial pattern is commonly observed in tropical species and increase or decrease the aggregation may be related to higher fruit production by taller individuals, due to contribution to higher seed density. However, there is not study that related this production with the aggregation degree of populations of tropical species. Thus, the objective of this study is to discover…

• Abstract

  Niche theory is one of the main mechanisms of species coexistence, and a popular approaches to test niche theory is evaluation of the spatial structure of plant populations. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate evidence for niche differences as a mechanism of coexistence through investigation of spatial patterns of three sympatric congenic species in a Restinga Forest in Ubat…

• Abstract

  Three groups of factors influence the spatial structure of tree species: (1) adult density and reproductive system, (2) seed dispersal and (3) post-dispersal processes. Some studies have investigated the influence of these factors on the spatial structure of tropical tree species. However, no study has evaluated the spatial structure at the community level of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainfo…
