“…The existence of a spatial correlation can be explained by a clustering of the species. Interspecific aggregation improves the chances of an inferior competitor to survive the competition of a dominant species (Goreaud et al, 2002). Particularly in the competition for light, shade tolerant beech has to be regarded as the superior competitor in this case.…”

“…Spatial pattern analysis is a common tool in plant ecology used for detecting spatial patterns of species distribution, understanding interactions between plants and the environment, and inferring important ecological processes or mechanisms of plant population dynamics (Franklin et al, 1985;Welden et al, 1990;Dale, 1999;Goreaud et al, 2002;Arevalo and Fernandez-Palacios, 2003;Schurr et al, 2004). In studying plant disease epidemics, quantifying and understanding the spatial pattern of disease establishment and spread is fundamental to understand disease dynamics because spatial pattern reflects the environmental forces acting on the dispersal and life cycles of a pathogen (Ristaino and Gumpertz, 2000;Suzuki et al, 2003).…”

“…Finally, to simulate other very different spatial patterns, corresponding to highly variable spatial structure, we used a generalized Gibbs process with random values of the parameters, as defined in Goreaud, Loreau, and Millier [16]. Gibbs point processes are classically used to simulate complex patterns [42].…”

“…In real forest ecosystems, the influence of the spatial structure on the dynamics is usually supposed to be a shortterm influence because many stochastic events (either natural disturbances, such as storms, or human silvicultural actions, such as thinning) can modify the spatial structure of the stand and thus the growing conditions of each tree (e.g., [13,14]). However, ecological models do not always include as much stochasticity and can sometimes show a long-term sensitivity to the initial spatial structure [15][16][17]. This problem is quite general and can be encountered in other types of models-for instance, cellular automaton or grid-based models [10].…”
