Crown-based growth strategies explain the distribution and co-occurrence of tree functional groups along environmental gradients
Elucidating interspecific variation in growth strategies across environments is critical for understanding tree diversity and distribution. However, a systematic analysis across diverse forests remains scarce due to limited large-tree crown measurements. We analysed 3,814 trees from 107 canopy species in 23 natural forests using forest census data and unmanned aerial vehicle. Relative growth rate…
