Tropical forest tree mortality, recruitment and turnover rates: calculation, interpretation and comparison when census intervals vary

Mathematical proofs show that rate estimates, for example of mortality and recruitment, will decrease with increasing census interval when obtained from censuses of non-homogeneous populations. This census interval effect could be confounding or perhaps even driving conclusions from comparative stud...
