Analogue Particle and Random Packing Models of Ecological Community Formation
Journal of Plant Studies, 2014 The apparent constancy of the near linear relationship between logarithm of a specie’s abundance in a community and their rank order led to a brief review of existing species abundance distribution (SAD) models; a proposal of three further classes of analogue models; and an evaluation of a meta data set of empirical vegetation composition data.
