| 摘 要： | The number and composition of species in a community can be quantified with α-diversity indices,including species richness(R), Simpson’s index(D), and the Shannon–Wiener index(H’). In forest communities, there are large variations in tree size among species and individuals of the same species, which result in differences in ecological processes and ecosystem functions. However, tree size inequality(TSI) has been largely neglected in studies using the available diversity indices. The TSI in the d...
