In tropical moist forest, advance regeneration in the form of shade-suppressed seedlings is a major component of regrowth in new gaps.
During early regrowth only a few axons entered an otherwise complete connective-tissue bridge.
In this context, the most prominent private sector regrowth took the form of externally financed contract farming.
These have shown that, under certain circumstances, one or more elements stimulated bacterial regrowth or had growth-inhibiting effects.
These patterns suggest that rain forests in both study areas will be largely replaced over time by anthropogenic savannas and scrubby regrowth.
This study reports on its impact on forest canopy openness at six lowland rain forest sites with contrasting management histories (old-growth, selectively logged and regrowth).
We calculate secondary regrowth to attain 75% of mature forest biomass after 175 y of regeneration.
Although the attractiveness of the regrowth on burned sites resulted in higher numbers of ungulates compared with unburned sites, species richness was not different.
