Mean diameter growth and mortality rates vs. octave-wide diameter
class for trees of each life form, as defined in Fig. 3. Confidence limits (95%)
shown for growth for the life forms for which these limits exceeded the width of
the points. Confidence limits for mortalities of shrubs, treelets and understorey
species are similar to the illustrated 95% limits for canopy species; those for
emergent species were _1.5 _ as large. Growth and mortality rates shown for
diameter classes with >400 trees per respective life form.
