Extract

Intra-specific plant competition has been studied (Ford (1975)) by planting individuals in regular lattice arrangements and then observing during growth both the frequency distributions of plant size and the occurrence of different sized plants across the lattice. Lattice distributions were studied through comparison with direct simulation of the random case and by the method of Krishna-Iyer (1950). A time-lapse film has been produced with one exposure every 10 minutes over a period of 6 weeks, to illustrate plant competition in lattice arrangements.
