Effects of topography on rainforest tree community structure and diversity in American Samoa, and implications for frugivore and nectarivore populations
Webb EL, Stanfield BJ, Jensen ML. 1999. Effects of topography on rainforest tree community structure and diversity in American Samoa, and implications for frugivore and nectarivore populations. Journal of Biogeography. 26(4):887-897
Report on the investigation of the spatial variation of rainforest tree community structure and composition to determine if forest structure and diversity varied as a function of topography; and in turn if this could influence patterns of habitat use by native forest birds and pteropodid bats.
