Latest update: 14 Dec 2024
Short summary
Natural gap disturbances are the dominant form of forest regeneration and dynamics in tropical forests. We highlight strong links between gap size distribution and environment, primarily hydrological conditions and topography, with large gaps being more frequent on floodplains and in wind-exposed areas.
