摘      要：In selectively logged forests,trees are more likely to expand their diameters(D)at the expense of height(H)growth,resulting in variations in H:D *** study examines how selective logging affects the H:D allometric relationships of five common tree species and whether the effects vary with functional groups(shade-intolerant or shade tolerant)in seasonal semi-deciduous *** of five species in a 3000 m^2(0.3 ha)plot were marked and heights and diameters *** of the species,with one exception,showed greater investment in diameter per increment of height compared to an unlogged forest,possibly because of the greater light *** study shows the effects of selective logging on species populations as evidenced by increases in H:D *** of forest fragments with different degrees of human impact is important because it allows us to understand the differences in architectural characteristics caused by selective logging.
