Observed relationship between forest structural complexity and tree species diversity (a), spatial structures of tree species diversity (b), and forest structural complexity (c) at 20-m quadrat scale in the Tiantong plot.
🌲#ForestStructuralComplexity and #TreeDiversity inherently facilitate mutual reinforcement in natural forests, but confounding factors like #CanopyHeight and #StandDensity may mask this relationship.
