Examples of woody

• Successional dynamics of woody seedling communities in wet tropical secondary forests.

• At 4-wk intervals, material from the same collector was mixed and then separated into woody and non-woody fractions.

• All woody plants with a diameter at 0.30 m above the ground level 5 cm were identified.

• Establishment of these woody plants attract further mammal and bird species, a positive feedback that results in a local succession of plant and animal species.

• Climatic constraints drive the evolution of low temperature resistance in woody plants.

• The presence of all woody species and basal diameter at 10 cm height of all stems >3 cm were recorded.

• As we had access to the original data from 1971, we were able to analyse changes in the woody component during a 25-y period.

• Most woody savanna species, including probably most (all?) acacias, are able to resist fire and to resprout to a certain degree.
