Estimated f1(Dist in ) smooth coefficient function of the diameter at breast height of adult trees over the distance between adult trees and saplings (continuous lines) and 95% confidence intervals (dashed lines) at intermediate stages (upper) and the end (lower) of the regeneration period. Positive values of f1(Dist in ) indicate positive effects of the diameter at breast height of adult trees on the number of saplings
