摘要: (3) The results of a controlled removal experiment showed that water-related interference does occur at this site when water availability is low, and present, between species usually more intense than within species. These results, together with nearest-neighbour analyses, revealed regular distributions may not necessarily indicate present among individuals the same species, but rather past interference. (4) importance episodic seedling establishment longevity in horizontal pattern development are also discussed.
