Seed Rain and Seed Limitation in a Planted Gallery Forest in Brazil

Restoration Ecology, 2006
Abstract With seeds collected monthly during one year from 53 1‐m2 seed traps, we investigated the seed rain and seed limitation in a gallery forest planted in 1994 in SE Brazil. Contrasting animal‐ (zoochorous) and wind‐dispersed (anemochorous) plants we investigated (1) which aspects of the composition and structure of the vegetation influence the ...

BIRDS ASSOCIATED WITH PAFURI GALLERY FOREST

Ostrich, 1989
Abstract The Pafuri River is really a misnomer applied to the Levhuvhu River after its junction with the Mutale River. This far northern area of the Kruger National Park represents a distinctive tropical intrusion into the Transvaal. Some indications of progressive elephant damage to the gallery forest are given from Mr Harold Mockford, who lived at ...

Historical development of gallery forests in northeast Kansas

Vegetatio, 1986
Woody vegetation, soils, age-diameter relationships and historical development are described for 18 gallery forest stands on Konza Prairie, a tallgrass prairie reserve in northeast Kansas. Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) coupled with the importance values of dominant species was used to identify four stand types in these forests: Quercus ...

Parasitism of Trees by Marmosets in a Central Brazilian Gallery Forest

Biotropica, 1984
Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus penicillata) living in a central Brazilian gallery forest depend heavily on exudates as a food. The marmosets gnaw holes in the bark of certain tree species, and all exudate collection takes place at these holes. Marmosets thus forage as ectoparasites on these trees.

Do isolated gallery-forest trees facilitate recruitment of forest seedlings and saplings in savannna?

Acta Oecologica, 2013
Abstract Facilitation is an ecological process that allows some species to establish in environments they can hardly afford in the absence of the process. This study investigated if the subcanopy of gallery-forest trees isolated in savanna is suitable for the early recruitment of forest woody species.

Gallery forests in the lowlands of Costa Rica

2017
Recordings of an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries indicate that we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction. In birds, habitat fragmentation is well-known for its negative effect on diversity. Due to growth of human population, agricultural and settlement areas are especially expanding in tropical zones, which ...

Diversity, structure and dynamics of a gallery forest in central Brazil

Vegetatio, 1995
The structure and dynamics of approximately 64 ha of undisturbed gallery forest were studied over six years. Trees from 31 cm gbh (c. 10 cm dbh) were measured every three years from 1985. They were in 151 (10×20 m) permanent plots in the Gama forest in the Federal District of Brazil.

Germinable soil seed bank of a gallery forest in Brazilian Cerrado

Plant Ecology, 2006
The soil seed bank is a dynamic biotic component of plant communities that represents the population’s memory in relation to selective events. Few studies have investigated the natural stock of germinable seeds in the gallery forests to evaluate their regeneration potential, although they are target of anthropogenic action.

Regeneration of gallery forests of Béda by natural tree species

Pollack Periodica, 2010
Instead of high value willow-poplar galleries and ash-oak-elm galleries stands of non-indigenous species are present at many sites of the flood plain of Danube in the Beda-Karapancsa Region of the Danube Drava National Park. According to the Act of Nature Conservation in Hungary minders of the territories are obligated to change non-indigenous tree ...

Networks of epiphytic orchids and host trees in Brazilian gallery forests

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2010
Abstract:Species interactions have been recently depicted as networks, in which each species is connected to one or more other species in binary interaction matrices. Forty networks of epiphytic orchid and host tree species were assessed in Brazilian gallery forests.
