Tropical secondary forests recover quickly (decades) in tree species richness but slowly (centuries) composition.
Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to regrow naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during secondary succession and their recovery is interrelated using 77 sites across tropics. are highly resilient low-intensity land use; after 20 years, attain 78% (33 100%) old-growth values. Recovery 90% values fastest for soil (<1 decade) plant functioning (<2.5 decades), intermediate structure species diversity (2.5...
Ethiopia is one of the tropical countries endowed with diverse forest formations. These forests supply largest proportions wood used for furniture, construction, and household energy consumption. Arbagugu Dry Afromontane under severe anthropogenic disturbances. Despite this fact, up to date information lacking about status forest. This study evaluates woody species composition, diversity, population structure, carbon stock in We found that had low richness diversity. Many inadequate...
Abstract The soil seed bank is one of the most important ecological indicators to evaluate and monitor restoration process plant communities. We aimed analyze influence two different techniques on diversity floristic composition standing vegetation, in 4‐year‐old areas under forest around bauxite mining, Southeast Brazil. A total 30 samples were collected each area (SPN—forest by seedling planting rows nucleation between SP—forest rows). transported a shade house evaluated for 6 months,...
Evaluating the influences of fine-scale habitat heterogeneity on composition, diversity, structure and functioning forests is critical to understand how tropical will respond climate change devise forest management strategies that enhance biodiversity conservation aboveground biomass stock. Here, we hypothesized topographic soil factors determine differentiation, which in turn shape community species richness, at local scale forests. To test this hypothesis, selected two areas (each 100 × m)...
Forests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? Using floristic composition of 1215 early successional forests (≤20 years) in 75 human-modified landscapes across Neotropic realm, we identified 14 groups, with a between-group dissimilarity 0.97. Floristic groups were associated location, bioregions, soil pH, temperature seasonality, water availability. Hence, there...
ABSTRACT Propolis primarily comprises resins, waxes, pollen, and several compounds collected by honeybees mixed with secreted fluids. Globally, red propolis production is limited to a few regions, San Andrés Island (Colombia) one of these locations. This study aims outline the palynological profile produced Apis mellifera on Island, Colombia, identify its relationship local vegetation. Red samples were for year 2022 from two apiaries located island. initially treated ethanol KOH pollen grain...
