Spatial Structure Alters the Shape of the Unimodal Species Richness-Biomass Relationship in a Neutral Model
Variation in individual density may explain the unimodal richness-biomass relationship in which species richness peaks at an intermediate level of total biomass. However, it is unclear how individual density is regulated by community thinning (i.e., mortality due to competition with neighbors) as to...
