Tree crown dimensions across elevational, forest - savanna, and precipitation gradients in tropical Peru, Brazil, and Ghana

Documentation:

The sizes and shapes of tree crowns are of fundamental importance in ecology, yet understanding the forces that determine them remains elusive. Here, we measure tree crown dimensions across diverse tropical ecosystems. Using trees from 20 plots varying in elevation, precipitation, and ecosystem type across the paleo- and neotropics, we test the relationship between crown dimensions and tree size. By analyzing these scaling relationships across environmental gradients, biogeographic regions, a...
