Seed limitation in an Amazonian floodplain forest

Ecology, 2019
AbstractWe monitored a close‐spaced grid of 289 seed traps in 1.44 ha for 8.4 yr in an Amazonian floodplain forest. In a tree community containing hundreds of species, a median of just three to four species of tree seeds falls annually into each 0.5‐m2 establishment site. The number of seed species reaching a given site increased linearly with time for
