This process typically involves invasion by coarse tall grasses, mostly with competitive stress-tolerant strategies, and rapid development of mono-dominance stands.
And now the very network externalities that solidified its former dominance probably stand in the way of any attempt to return to past glories.
In particular, simplistic assumptions of the dominance of stand replacing disturbances and uncritical use of the negative exponential model of forest age distribution can lead to seriously biased estimation of reference landscape conditions, and hence need of restoration and conservations of different kinds of forest habitat types (e.g. Angelstam and Andersson 2001; Lõhmus et al. 2004).
France had dominance in the stands but not where it mattered most during the first half.
Heritiera fomes has maintained its dominance of the stand and also suffered the highest tree mortality (2.4%) in the suppressed crown class.
The findings of Hou et al. (2004) in a Quercus-Betula forest in northern China showed that the longevity of Quercus combined with its dominance in the stand can compensate for the low regeneration and allow them to persist.
They found that, contrary to the conventional view of dominance of severe stand-replacing disturbances in the boreal forest, gap, patch and partial disturbances were most commonly reported in the research literature.
But last year the Montana Supreme Court pointed to Montana's early 20th century history of corrupt corporate dominance and let stand the state's own Corrupt Practices Act, which bans independent election spending by corporations.
There is a joie de vivre to James's dominance this season, which stands in stark contrast to the scowl he wore the last few years when he was the world's favorite N.B.A. player to hate.
This phenomenon is reflected in the importance values of medium and large trees and results in its dominance in older forest stands (Table 2).
Ordination suggested some evidence of divergence in species dominance among individual forest stands, but differences were not based on watershed identity or spatial proximity.
