Spatial patterns of light-demanding tree species in the Yangambi rainforest (Democratic Republic of Congo). [PDF]

Three hypotheses have been tested, which suggest: (H1) legacy of past disturbances, (H2) legacy of adaptation to a drier climate, and (H3) consequence of heterogeneity of the environment.
