Proximity to forests, fire and plantation characteristics influence understory plant species richness more than phylogenetic diversity in African mahogany plantations [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHuman-modified ecosystems such as plantations, previously considered as green deserts, can serve as stepping-stones or corridors for species to migrate between source and sink populations, thus maintaining metapopulations.
