Neotropical secondary forest succession : changes in structural and functional characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the main biotic and abiotic factors that influence the patterns of Neotropical secondary forest successions, referred as the woody vegetation that regrows after complete forest clearance due to human activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of protected and community managed forests for the long term maintenance of forest cover in the tropics was assessed through a meta-analysis of published case-studies, which compared land use/cover change data for these two broad types of forest management and assess their performance in maintaining forest cover.
Statistical methods for estimating species richness of woody regeneration in primary and secondary rain forests of northeastern Costa Rica
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of various estimation techniques within individual sites as well as across a range of sites differing in successional status and in woody species abundance and spatial distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural regeneration as a tool for large-scale forest restoration in the tropics: prospects and challenges.
TL;DR: In this article, the conditions that favor natural regeneration within tropical forest landscapes are discussed, and the economic, social, and legal issues that challenge natural regeneration in tropical landscapes are highlighted, and a major global effort to enable cost-effective natural regeneration is needed to achieve ambitious forest and landscape restoration goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide disturbance and forest regeneration in the upper Luquillo Mountains of Puerto Rico.
TL;DR: The natural landslide disturbance regime and the major trends in post-landslide succession were studied within a 44-km 2 belt between 530 and 850 m a.s.l. (subtropical lower montane wet forest, sensu Holdridge) in the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto Rico.
