The development of forests over time is influenced by competition for resources among trees, leading to patterns of size hierarchy. These two aspects – competition and size hierarchy – can be examined in conjunction with ...

Nothofagus pumilio (Poepp. et Endl. Krasser) is a deciduous species that dominates the upper tree line of the Chilean and Argentinean Andes between 35° 36' and 55° 31' S. In this study we describe the development of 21 ...

A sequence of vertices in a graph G with no isolated vertices is called a total dominating sequence if every vertex in the sequence totally dominates at least one vertex that was not totally dominated by preceding vertices ...

The growth of a stand is the sum of the growth of individual trees. Growth of individual trees can be explained by the amount of resources captured and how efficiently those resources are used (production ecology). The ...

The study uses dominant trees to describe the tinning, because they are those that possess larger energy inside of a forest settlement. The main objective of the work is to model and to select models to describe the ...
