Addressing how woody plant species are distributed in space can reveal inconspicuous drivers that structure plant communities. The spatial structure of conspecifics varies not only at local scales across co-existing plant species but also at larger biogeographical scales with climatic parameters and habitat properties. The possibility that biogeographical drivers shape the spatial structure of plants, however, has not received sufficient attention.

叶面积预测木本物种的同种空间聚集


解决木本植物物种在空间中的分布方式可以揭示构成植物群落的不明显的驱动因素。同种植物的空间结构不仅在共存植物物种的局部尺度上变化，而且在更大的生物地理尺度上随气候参数和栖息地特性而变化。然而，生物地理驱动因素塑造植物空间结构的可能性尚未受到足够的重视。
