Knowledges about processing of interactions within organisms, between organisms and environment form bedrock of understanding how ecosystem organized. Interactions in forest ecosystem are inferred from patterns of spatial-temporal co-occurrence or avoidance in physical space. Based on the complexity of three-dimensional (3D) ecosystem, ecologists urgently need accurate in-situ data to construct nonlinear relationships and describe complex […]
