Knowledge graph centered on Ripley's K function (Pinaceae) with 11 nodes and 21 connections. Top connected: climate-induced range shifts, facilitative interactions, Holshof & Swenson trait sampling protocol, dendroecological reconstruction, ARSTAN chronology development.

Description

Point pattern analysis using Ripley's K function to test for clustering, randomness, or regularity in tree spatial distributions by comparing observed patterns to simulated random distributions.

Typical Equipment

  • spatstat package
  • R statistical software

Output Measurements

  • spatial clustering index
  • significance of spatial pattern
