Which ecological processes could structure these patterns? Possible processes include dispersal limitation, self‐thinning, facilitation and competition between species and life stages. Location A tropical broad‐leaved forest in north‐central Vietnam. Methods We used univariate and bivariate pair‐correlation functions to investigate the spatial distribution and association patterns of 18 abundant tree species. To disentangle first‐ and second‐order effects, we used a scale separation approach with the heterogeneous Poisson process as null model. Results (1) Sixteen of 18 species had aggregated patterns at various scales and regardless of their abundance. (2) Significant and aggregated patterns were found in 64% of all specific life stages. (3) At scales up to 15 m, 12.4% species pairs showed significant associations, among that 71% were spatial attractions, 5% were spatial repulsions and 24% were non‐essential interactions. (4) In different life stage associations, attractions (81%) predominated over repulsions (19%) at small scales of up to 15 m. Conclusions Our findings provide evidence that dispersal limitation may regulate the spatial patterns of tree species. Moreover, positive spatial associations between tree species and life stages suggest the presence of species herd protection and/or facilitation in this forest stand, while the persistence of intraspecific aggregation through life stages suggests a very late onset or even absence of self‐thinning. Habitat heterogeneity plays an important role for species distribution patterns, and the spatial segregation occurs at a scale around 15 m in this forest."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/jvs.12361"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148941"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5583"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Wiegand Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1100-9233"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.subject.gro","Dispersal limitation"],["dc.subject.gro","Neutral theory"],["dc.subject.gro","Pair-correlation function"],["dc.subject.gro","Point pattern analysis"],["dc.subject.gro","Self-thinning"],["dc.subject.gro","Spatial pattern"],["dc.subject.gro","Species association"],["dc.subject.gro","Species herd protection"],["dc.subject.gro","Tropical evergreen forest"],["dc.subject.gro","Vietnam"],["dc.title","Spatial distribution and association patterns in a tropical evergreen broad-leaved forest of north-central Vietnam"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, its ecology is poorly known. We used spatial point pattern analysis to describe the spatial arrangement of tree individuals within a forest community dominated by S. macrophyllus. All individual trees with diameter at breast height larger than 2.5 cm in a 1-ha plot were mapped and measured. The overall pattern of this species was a regular distribution at scales up to 2 m. Its juveniles and subadults were strongly aggregated, but adult trees were regular at scales of up to 3 m, implying evidence of density dependent thinning. The spatial pattern of S. macrophyllus strongly affected the patterning of the whole plot. In S. macrophyllus, juveniles and subadults were similarly distributed relative to adults and showed additional clumping independent of the adults. The overall interspecific association between adults of other species and S. macrophyllus at different life-history stages also showed independence. We conclude that S. macrophyllus is a predominant competitor within the community and it follows a gap-phase regeneration mode."],["dc.identifier.gro","3147838"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5164"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.subject","Point pattern analysis forest community gap-phase regeneration mode intra- and interspecific associations"],["dc.subject.gro","Forest community"],["dc.subject.gro","Gap-phase regeneration mode"],["dc.subject.gro","Intra- and interspecific associations"],["dc.subject.gro","Point pattern analysis"],["dc.title","Spatial patterns and demographics of Streblus macrophyllus trees in a tropical evergreen forest, Vietnam."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
