Structural Dynamics of Tropical Moist Forest Gaps
Fig 3
Gap formation anomaly with distance from existing gaps.
For each site, the average probability of gap formation between 2008 and 2012 was calculated and subtracted from the probability of gap formation based on distance from existing (2008) gaps. The resulting difference (Gap Formation Anomaly) was plotted against distance for (a) Ducke Reserve and (b) Tapajos National Forest.
