Past disturbances and intraspecific competition as drivers of spatial pattern in primary spruce forests
Original language description
The role of density dependence in shaping spatial patterns in tree distributions presumably changes throughout stand development. However, empirical investigations into developmental processes are often limited by a lack of long-term data on disturbance history, which further limits the ability to assess the role of spatial variation in site conditions (e.g., slope, aspect, mean annual temperature). This study included data from 289 plots within 26 primary forest stands of the Carpathian Mountains, stands were dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies) and driven by mixed-severity disturbance regimes. We assessed spatial patterns in living tree positions, tree diameters, and the relative position of living trees to dead trees. Random forest classification was used to discriminate between disturbance history, tree density, and site conditions and their effects on the observed spatial patterns. At the stand scale, distances between trees of equal diameter were more uniform that expected (tree diameter wa
