Contribution of conspecific negative density dependence to species diversity is increasing towards low environmental limitation in Japanese forests

Abstract Species coexistence is a result of biotic interactions, environmental and historical conditions. The Janzen-Connell hypothesis assumes that conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is one of the local processes maintaining high species diversity by decreasing population growth rates a...
