福山亞熱帶森林樹種空間分布特性Spatial patterns of tree distribution in Fushan subtropical rainforest Forestry Research Institute　林業試驗所 Sheng-hsin Su　　　蘇聲欣 Fushan Forest Dynamics Plot Location: 121?35’E, 24 ?45’N Altitude: 616-748 m Subtropical montane forest, Warm and humid climate; frequent typhoon disturbances The implication of tree distribution Biology and environment dispersal, recruitment, growth, mortality History disturbance, pest, disease Chance Spatial analyses on tree distribution Environmental effect Habitat association Biological process Intra-species interaction Univariate point pattern analysis Marked point pattern analysis Cluster analysis (Plotkin et al., 2002) Inter-species interaction (species association) Bivariate point pattern analysis Spatial modeling (e.g. PCNM approach) Habitat association Four micro-topographic habitat types Torus translation test (Harms et al., 2001) 57 out of 69 species > 50 individuals/25 ha (83%) show significant associations with habitats Density ratio test (Valencia et al., 2004) Bootstrapping approach Randomly resample quadrats and compute density ratios among different habitat types Derive reference distributions A brief summary There is strong micro-topographic habitat associations in Fushan FDP Over half of tree species distribute "inhomogeneously" between habitat types Is there any biological processes contributing to tree distributions? Intra-species interaction Spatial poiont pattern analysis H0: inhomogeneous Poisson process use local intensity as a surrogate of environmental factors Method: pair correlation function (O-ring statistics) Castanopsis cuspidata 長尾栲 Litsea acuminata 長葉木薑子 Meliosma squamulata 綠樟 Symplocos theophrastifolia 山豬肝 Machilus thunbergii 紅楠 Myrsine seguinii 大明橘 Limlia uraiana 烏來柯 Machilus mushaensis 霧社楨楠 Cyathea podophylla 鬼桫欏 A brief summary All of the nine species show significant aggregated pattern within 40-m distance (mostly < 20 m) Assuming "Complete Spatial Randomness (CSR)" (homoge
