On the basis of permanent plot research in a warm−temperate rain forest in southern Japan dominated by evergreen broad-leaved trees, a multi-species model of size-structured tree populations is proposed, which takes into account the effect of one-sided competition. The strength of the density effect due to one-sided competition for light on a forest tree of a given size is expressed in terms of the cumulative basal area of trees irrespective of species larger than this tree in the forest stand (...)
