Implication

Analysis reveals significant interactions between topographic heterogeneity and large trees on gap patterns, highlighting their role in ecosystem resilience.

Key Points

Gap size and aggregation vary significantly across different spatial scales, emphasizing the role of scale in forest dynamics.
Large trees negatively influenced gap size and density at smaller scales (20 m), but had a positive effect at larger scales (100 m).
Topography was crucial in affecting gap aggregation at smaller scales, while influencing size and density at larger scales.
Understanding these scale-dependent drivers can aid in developing effective restoration and conservation strategies for forests.
