Spatial distribution patterns of trees at different life stages in a warm temperate forest

Abstract: We have investigated tree distributions in relation to topography between different tree life history stages, from the seed-dispersal stage to the adult stage in a warm temperate evergreen broadleaved forest on Yakushima Island, Japan, to clarify the critical stages in determining adult tree distributions. We conducted a census of all living trees > or =30 cm tall and collected seed falls over three years using 25 seed traps in a 50 m x 50 m quadrat. Four life stages were defined: stage 1, dispersed seed; stag… Show more

“…While this feature of the sample may limit our conclusions, several other studies have been discussing tree size structure using just higher size classes (e.g. Manabe et al 2000, Bianchini et al 2003, Tsujino and Yumoto 2007. We used the number of individuals for each 10 × 10 m subplot and subplot center coordinates to determine the spatial pattern of each species.…”

“…Plants had different requirements related to seed germination, seedling emergence and survival and recruitment to higher size classes (Messaoud andHoule 2006, Tsujino andYumoto 2007). Soil water availability, soil fertility and light are among these requirements (Messaoud and Houle 2006).…”

“…Clumped spatial patterns of mature size classes or stages have been documented and related to soil and topographic factors (Tsujino & Yumoto 2007;Anderson et al 2009;Franklin & Santos 2011;Barbosa et al 2013), and light (Dovciak et al 2001;Fuchs et al 2013).…”

“…areas in Yakushima Island (30° N, 130° E), Japan. The coastal area was in primary and secondary warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest [Agetsuma, 1995;Tsujino and Yumoto, 2007]. The highland area was in the transitional forest between warm and cool temperate forest, including coniferous forest [Hanya, 2004b].…”
