Ting Wang, Siyuan Ren, Zhiliang Yuan, Yan Zhu, Na Pan, Luxin Li, Yongzhong Ye. Effects of density dependence on the spatial patterns of Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata trees in deciduous broad-leaved forest in the Baotianman Nature Reserve, central China[J]. Biodiv Sci, 2014, 22(4): 449-457.
Fig. 1 Spatial patterns of Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata deadwoods in the 1-ha plot in the Baotianman National Nature Reserve. The solid black line represents the point pattern of the dead trees, the confidence interval is showed by the region between the two dashed gray lines.
Fig. 2 Spatial patterns of living Q. aliena var. acuteserrata trees in the 1-ha plot in Baotianman Nature Reserve. It presents the double correlation functions g(r) and L(r) functions pattern analysis with complete spatial randomness model. The solid black line represents the point pattern of the living trees, the confidence interval is shown by the gray part and the region between the two dashed lines.
Fig. 3 Point pattern analysis of Q. aliena var. acuteserrata deadwoods at different growth stages in the 1-ha plot in the Baotianman National Nature Reserve. The solid black line represents the point pattern of the dead trees, the confidence interval is shown by the region between the dotted lines. A, Saplings (1 cm ≤ DBH < 10 cm); B, Juveniles (10 cm ≤ DBH <20 cm); C, Adult trees (DBH ≥20 cm).
Fig. 4 Examples for density dependent effect within a case-control design in the 1-ha plot in the Baotianman National Nature Reserve. The pattern of adult trees serves as “control”, which corrects for possible heterogeneity in habitat quality, the pattern of smaller size classes serves as “cases”. A, Saplings (1 cm ≤ DBH <10 cm); B, Juveniles (10 cm ≤ DBH < 20 cm); C, Adult trees (DBH ≥ 20 cm). A1 and B1 represent the negative density dependence analysis of pre-mortality saplings and juveniles; A2 and B2 show the negative density dependence analysis of post-mortality saplings and juveniles, respectively.
Fig. 5 Comparative analysis of the correlation of pre-mortality and post-mortality of Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata trees at different growth stages by using double correlation functions g12 (r) and random labeling null model. A1to F1 for pre-mortality trees, A2 to F2 for post-mortality trees. a, Saplings (1 cm ≤ DBH <10 cm); b, Juveniles (10 cm ≤ DBH <20 cm); c, Adult trees (DBH ≥20 cm). It shows the 99% confidence interval (grey section) after 999 times circles with Monte Carlo simulation.
