Competition among plants: Concepts, individual-based modelling approaches, and a proposal for a future research strategy (2008, background): “Another simulation experiment focusing on local competition among Arabidopsis thaliana plants explains the forma- tion of spatial patterns of plant distribution depending on different competition modes ranging from symmetric to asymmetric competition (Stoll and Bergius, 2005).”
Spatial patterns of regeneration in managed uneven-aged ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir forests of Western Montana, USA (2006, background): “022 means of inferring explanations of interspecific processes (MacArthur, 1972), given that ecological processes may be expected to give rise to spatially recognizable structures that can be examined with spatial statistical analysis (Greig-Smith, 1979; Kikvidze et al., 2005; Stoll and Bergius, 200”
Beyond description: the active and effective way to infer processes from spatial patterns. (2009, background): “One explanation of this is that endogenous ecological processes operate between neighboring individuals, thus creating autocorrelation (Tilman and Kareiva 1997, Lennon 2000, Stoll and Bergius 2005).”
Adopting a spatially explicit perspective to study the mysterious fairy circles of Namibia (2015, background): “The underlying rationale is that spatial distribution patterns of plants or gaps between plants contain information on processes that have likely caused the current patterns (Stoll and Bergius 2005, Getzin et al. 2008).”
Understanding the dynamics of an undisturbed tropical rain forest from the spatial pattern of trees (2009, background): “This shift has been observed many times, either for trees or for plants, and either in natural or in experimental conditions (Ford & Diggle 1981; Sterner et al. 1986; Weiner et al. 2001; Stoll & Bergius 2005).”
Spatial point-pattern analysis for detecting density-dependent competition in a boreal chronosequence of Alberta (2009, background): “It is therefore widely accepted that the occurrence of a regular (evenly spaced) spatial pattern within a population provides strong empirical evidence of intraspecific competition (Pielou, 1962; Antonovics and Levin, 1980; Stoll and Bergius, 2005).”
