Aim
To evaluate how wood density relates to tree growth rates in simple models and two tropical forests.
Location
Barro Colorado Island, Panama; and Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia.
Time Period
1986–2010.
Major Taxa Studied
Trees.
Methods
We derived expected relationships of wood density with diameter growth at a given diameter under a null hypothesis that aboveground biomass growth is independent...
The ‘functional traits’ of species have been heralded as promising predictors for species’ demographic rates and life history. Multiple studies have linked plant species’ demographic rates to commonly measured traits. However, predictive power is usually low – raising questions about the practical usefulness of traits – and analyses have been limited to size‐independent univariate approaches restricted...
