Description :
The objective of this paper is to determine if there is any evidence of expansion or contraction of five dominant trees across the elevation gradient above a seasonal floodplain. Spatial variation in the size-class distributions of the five dominant tree species is determined. The mortality of different stem sizes of the five species following a wildfire is also determined by analysing the data set of Bowman and Panton (1994). These data also provide insights into the regeneration processes of these species.
