长期以来，在一般植物和森林科学中，植物之间的相互作用在某种程度上仅限于竞争，尽管对促进作用的直观、非科学的理解影响了包括造林系统在内的各种森林管理技术的发展。尽管如此，竞争已经主导了许多生态理论和密度效应的解释。正在进行的研究，在树力学和验证应力梯度假说表明，我们的理解树的相互作用仍然是不完整的。目前正在进行有前途的研究，试图揭示与相互作用有关的生理受体和过程，而在过去，主要是植物性能，例如植物大小和生长速率，用于验证竞争。我们给出了一个概述的量化方法，并提出了一个标准化的共同建设原则。植物的表现已被广泛用于提供相互作用的经验证据，但孤立使用时，它可以是一个混淆的标准，导致误解，尽管有前途的新发展，在量化树的相互作用。因此，我们建议使用模式为导向的建模在树的相互作用，同时应用几种植物性状的分析。
For a long time, interaction between plants in both general plant and forest science has been somewhat limited to competition, although an intuitive, non-scientific understanding of facilitation has influenced the development of a wide range of forest management techniques including silvicultural systems. Despite this, competition has dominated many ecological theories and the interpretation of density effects. Ongoing research in tree mechanics and in verifying the stress-gradient hypothesis reveal that our understanding of tree interactions is still incomplete. Promising research is currently underway attempting to uncover the physiological receptors and processes related to interaction whilst in the past largely plant performance, e.g. plant size and growth rates, was used for verifying competition. We give an overview of quantification methods and suggest a standardisation by common construction principles. Plant performance has been much used for providing empirical evidence of interactions, but when used in isolation it can be a confounding criterion leading to misinterpretations despite promising new developments in quantifying tree interaction. We therefore suggest using pattern-oriented modelling in analyses of tree interactions, where several plant traits are applied simultaneously.
