Tree species differentiation in growth, recruitment and allometry in relation to maximum height in a Bornean mixed dipterocarp forest

Abstract: Summary1 Maximum attainable height varies greatly between tree species in tropical rain forests and covaries with demographic and allometric traits. We examined these relationships in 27 abundant tree species in a mixed dipterocarp forest. These species were monitored over 3 years in two 1-ha plots in western Borneo. A 95-percentile upper height limit was used to represent maximum height, to avoid sample size differences among populations. 2 Average growth rate in trunk diameter was regressed against trunk dia… Show more

“…In this study, we reconstruct the packing of tree crowns by using data on stem location and stem diameter at breast height. Additionally, relationships between stem diameter d (cm) and other tree characteristics [like tree height h (m) or crown radius c (m)] are used (18,19).…”

“…Site-specific allometric relationships for tree geometry are not available for the Sinharaja forest. We therefore use allometric relationships for the Dipterocarpaceae family [i.e., c(d) = 0.4d 0.66 and h(d) = 2.78d 0.69 ] (19). This family shows the highest abundance of individuals, number of tree species, and basal area at Sinharaja (1,36).…”

“…1) requires a detailed examination of the relationships between tree size distribution and demographic properties of tree species. While some previous studies (Kohyama 1992;Thomas 1996;Condit et al 1998;Kohyama et al 2003;Wright et al 2003Wright et al , 2010King et al 2006aKing et al , 2006bFeeley et al 2007;Poorter et al 2008;Bin et al 2012) have compared tree size distribution and demographic properties, they focused on either maximum size or the shape of size distribution but not both. In addition, a key limitation of these studies is that they estimated demographic parameters separately for each of some abundant species.…”
