Negative density dependence and environmental heterogeneity effects on tree ferns across succession in a tropical montane forest

Although tree ferns are an important component of temperate and tropical forests, very little is known about their ecology. Their peculiar biology (e.g., dispersal by spores and two-phase life cycle) makes it difficult to extrapolate current knowledge on the ecology of other tree species to tree fer...
