Stem diameter distributions underpin forest planning and inventory practice worldwide, yet permanent sample plot inventories are routinely truncated by merchantability limits and diameter caps. Truncated densities are the standard remedy, but those forms are seldom documented or supported in common software, so practitioners default to biased complete-form fits. We introduce a two-stage weighted least-squares workflow that ret...

A large body of theoretical studies has shown that synchrony among populations is critical for the long‐term persistence of species in fragmented habitats. Although the effects of dispersal and environmental factors on synchrony have been investigated theoretically, empirical studies of these relationships have been lacking. We explored the interplay between environmental and demographic factors (fecundity, survival, dispersal...
