Growth of Tropical Bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum): Response to Weather Variations and Burning [PDF]

Invasive Plant Science and Management, 2010
AbstractThe ecology of tropical bracken, which occurs in tropical regions, is not well known. We studied its response to weather variations and burning in the south Ecuadorian Andes, where this weed had already overgrown 40% of the pastureland. In field observations, a constant 1 : 1 ratio of emerging and dying leaves suggested limitation of frond ...

Proximity and abundance of mother trees affects recruitment patterns in a long‐term tropical forest restoration study

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 12, Page 1826-1837, December 2021., 2021
Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Variation in aboveground biomass and necromass of two invasive species in the Atlantic rainforest, southeast Brazil Variação da biomassa e necromassa aérea de duas espécies invasoras na floresta atlântica, sudeste do Brasil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2009
This paper describes the variation of the above-ground biomass, necromass, and net above-ground primary production (NAGPP) of two weed species, Panicum maximum Jacquin (Poaceae) and Pteridium arachnoideum (Kaulf.) Maxon.

Accounting for multiple ecosystem services in a simulation of land‐use decisions: Does it reduce tropical deforestation?

Global Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 2403-2420, April 2020., 2020
Our simulation of decision‐making under uncertainty shows that accounting for multiple ecosystem services (ES) in addition to socio‐economic objectives has heterogeneous effects on tropical land‐use allocation. It saves some natural forest if the initial natural forest share is below 38%, and can stop deforestation once the natural forest share drops ...

Control of bracken by promoting regeneration of woody vegetation in the Yucatan Peninsula

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
In the tropical dry forest of the Yucatan Peninsula in southern Mexico, as in many parts of the Neotropics, deforested areas have been colonized by the highly competitive invasive bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum), which inhabits naturally regenerated and
