Abstract:

Why there are many tree species coexisting in natural forests? I have been working on this question over years. In this lecture, I introduce my studies related to this topic, carried out in various types of forest over east and southeast Asia.

One can observe tree architecture, and the dynamics of forest trees (i.e. survival, growth and recruitment). Across these aspects, there are among-species differentiation and convergence, as well as within-species differentiation. Based on the collective knowledge, I hypothesize the mechanisms of tree species coexistence from the viewpoint of competition for light.

Key topics:
