摘要

Forest decline is a widespread, well‐recognized problem, but studies reporting decreases in tree survival have been largely limited to relatively rare old‐growth forests or low‐diversity systems, and to models which are species‐aggregated or cannot easily accommodate yearly climate variables. We created survival models for a multispecies second‐growth forest in the Sierra Nevada of California using a hierarchical state‐space framework. We accounted for a mosaic of measurement intervals and random plot variation, and we directly included yearly stand development variables alongside climate variables and topographic proxies for nutrient, water, and light availability. Our model captured the expected dependence of survival on tree size, but revealed different relationships between size and survival for each species. At the community level, including stand development variables accounted for decreasing survival time trends, but species‐specific models demonstrated a diversity of factors influencing survival, including time trends, fundamental niche limitations, and the impact of competition. Our results on time trends and competitive performance showed local exceptions to existing theories of Sierran forest dynamics, with some shade‐tolerant species increasing in survival over time and others performing better than expected under more crowded conditions. Within species, low survival was concentrated in susceptible subsets of our population and single estimates of annual survival rates did not reflect this heterogeneity in survival.
