Elevational variation in tree seed production in southern Appalachia
Abstract
Seed production is an important component of forest demography and partially determines the structure and composition of future forests. Seed production is also tightly tied to environmental drivers, and so it is imperative that we understand patterns and mechanisms associated with seed production within the context of environmental variation and change. Here, I investigate patterns of seed production in response to elevational and environmental variation in mapped tree stands in eastern Tennessee.
