Effects of Microtopography on Neighborhood Diversity and Competition in Subtropical Forests by Jianing Xu, Haonan Zhang, Yajun Qiao, Huanhuan Yuan, Wanggu Xu, Xin Xia

“…Our findings demonstrate that aspect and TPI act as key drivers, redistributing light and moisture to shape conspecific clustering, heterospecific competition, and tree growth. Remarkably, sun-facing slopes promoted sapling aggregation yet intensified competitive interactions, while shaded slopes maintained stable moisture conditions that benefited mature tree survival. …”
