How much variation in tree mortality is predicted by soil and topography in Central Amazonia (2011, background): “…shown that soil and topography influence the spatial distribution of above-ground live biomass (Laurance et al., 1999; Castilho et al., 2006) and plant species composition (e.g., Harms et al., 2001; Russo et al., 2005; John et al., 2007; Costa et al., 2005) at a mesoscale (10–100 km) in Amazonia.”
Seed limitation in a Panamanian forest (2005, background): “Niche differences with respect to edaphic conditions and light availability are well documented for the BCI flora (Kitajima 1994; Harms et al. 2001; Engelbrecht & Kursar 2003; Svenning et al. 2004).”
Modelling tree height–diameter relationships in multi-species and multi-layered forests: A large observational study from Northeast China (2014, methodology): “The slope for each cell was estimated as the mean angular deviation from the horizontal plane of each of the four triangular planes which were formed by connecting three of its adjacent corners (Harms et al., 2001).”
Leaf phenology is associated with soil water availability and xylem traits in a tropical dry forest (2012, background): “At local scales, topography is the main factor determining the habitat of species (Webb and Peart 2000; Harms et al. 2001; Balvanera et al. 2002; Segura et al. 2003; PinedaGarcı́a et al. 2011).”
Partitioning the effects of biodiversity and environmental heterogeneity for productivity and mortality in a tropical tree plantation (2008, background): “While recent theoretical developments have de-emphasized the importance of such deterministic factors (Hubbell 2001), Harms et al. (2001) examined the role of habitat in explaining species distribution in the permanent 50-ha plot of BCI.”
Partitioning beta diversity in a subtropical broad-leaved forest of China. (2009, background): “Following Harms et al. (2001) and Valencia et al. (2004), elevation of a cell was defined as the mean of the elevation values at its four corners.”
Developmental changes in habitat associations of tropical trees (2007, methodology): “In a previous analysis of species' habitat associations, Harms et al. (2001) divided the BCI FDP into 1250 20 x 20 m quadrats and assigned each quadrat to one of five habitat types: high plateau (< 70 inclination, > 152 m elevation; 170 quadrats), low”
The impact of neutrality, niche differentiation and species input on diversity and abundance distributions (2007, background): “Hanski and Gyllenberg (1993) and Loreau and Mouquet (1999) examined the abundance distribution in models with species input, but both omitted spatial explicitness at the individual level in the local community; both did demonstrate, though, a long tail of rare species.”
Tree species distributions across five habitats in a Bornean rain forest (2004, methodology): “The spatial and habitat-related patterns in community structure and species distribution were examined using randomization tests (Fox 1987; Harms et al. 2001; Manly 1997; Webb & Peart 2000), modified to assume spatial independence (SPI) and spatial dependence (SEMI) of seed dispersal.”
Microhabitat associations of vascular epiphytes in a wet tropical forest canopy (2015, background): “Most studies assume habitat specialization through correlative analyses between habitat and species distributions, but manipulative experiments or rigorous analytical techniques such as null models can better determine the relative contribution of habitat specialization to species diversity (Harms e”
Effects of topography on structuring local species assemblages in a Sri Lankan mixed dipterocarp forest (2013, background): “There is ample evidence for habitat associations of individual species along ridge-valley gradients (Svenning 1999; Harms et al. 2001; Valencia et al. 2004; Gunatilleke et al. 2006); however, separate topographic niches for hundreds of species which coexist within small areas in tropical forests…”
A forest structure model that determines crown layers and partitions growth and mortality rates for landscape‐scale applications of tropical forests (2012, methodology): “We calculated the average and standard deviation of CAI for different habitat types (Harms et al. 2001) and used analysis of variance and Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference tests at P = 0.05 level to detect whether any of the habitats had a statistically different CAI.”
