Temporal and Spatial Invasion
Time
Generation and ‘a half’ Field invasion Large fires First generation poor wood quality – “wolf trees”
Cohort Cohort = all trees that initiate after a disturbance. Oldest trees in a cohort are those that initiate first; youngest trees are those that initiate just before all growing space is occupied.
Cohorts Age Number of trees
Space
CLUMPINESS Variable density Microsite
Stem maps? Asymmetric crowns Leaning trees
Including the 3 rd dimension Lower strata can be clumped at a different spatial scale
Scale Grain size
ABCD EFGH Random?
