Here's one. It's not on forests, but it might have some good ideas :)

Functional Ecology 2014, 28, 745–754, doi: 10.1111/1365-2435.12206, Structural, compositional and trait differences between native- and non-native-dominated grassland patches

These papers can be helpful.

Strucrural characterstics of vegetation....

JSTOR, 7 (3), 1992

Dear Andrew and Mehdi , Thank you very much for your response of my question . Actually I m looking for the such references where  vegetation  forest communities have been analysed on the basis of structural features like , life forms , leaf size , seed size ,bark thickness , flowering period , leaf fall patterns , etc. , etc.Regards .

Sir I think you are looking for morphological and phenological features of forest communities. structural features will cover forest communities at stand dynamics level and stand structures pattern in different forests. even forest composition can also be part of it.

Thank you  very much Manmohan for your response .Do you have any references , if yes , please provide me . Regards .

Sir you can see these studies
