Seed mass and the competition /colonization trade-off: competitive interactions and spatial patterns in a guild of annual plants

Using neighbourhood modelling to estimate individual-level competition coefficients for seven annuals growing in limestone grassland over 2 years the relative strength of intra- and interspecific competition was calculated and related to differences in seed size and plant size between targets and neighbours.
