Forest Return on an Abandoned Field - Secondary Succession Under Monitored Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The secondary succession pattern observed on an arable field abandoned since 1974 in Tilio-Carpinetum habitat is described and disscussed. Results obtained during 36 years of study confirm that succession on an abandoned field leads from a typical ...

Understanding Land Cover Change in a Fragmented Forest Landscape in a Biodiversity Hotspot of Coastal Ecuador

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Understanding forest cover changes is especially important in highly threatened and understudied tropical dry forest landscapes. This research uses Landsat images and a Random Forest classifier (RF) to map old-growth, secondary, and plantation forests ...

Diversity patterns of ground beetles and understorey vegetation in mature, secondary and plantation forest regions of temperate Northern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plantation and secondary forests form increasingly important components of the global forest cover, but our current knowledge about their potential contribution to biodiversity conservation is limited.

Land-use dynamics influence estimates of carbon sequestration potential in tropical second-growth forest

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2017
Many countries have made major commitments to carbon sequestration through reforestation under the Paris Climate Agreement, and recent studies have illustrated the potential for large amounts of carbon sequestration in tropical second-growth forests ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Secondary Air Pollutants and Forests — New Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yesThe Scientific World JOURNAL, 2007
Air pollution has been known to affect forests for over a century, and many of the mechanisms of pollutant deposition and effects have been established, at least for forest trees. Changes in air quality as a result of emission controls in Europe and North America, or as a result of rapid industrialisation in southern and eastern Asia, have highlighted ...

Forest communities in secondary high Andean forests (Azuay, Ecuador)

open access: yesNatural Resources Conservation and Research, 2020
In the mountains of southern Ecuador there are areas occupied by high Andean secondary forests formed as a result of anthropogenic activities. Here we identified different secondary forest communities located above 2,900 m a.s.l., based on their floristic similarity.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tropical forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, including an increase in liana abundance and biomass. Higher liana abundance results in reduced tree growth and increased tree mortality, possibly playing an important role in ...

Biodiversity from the Sky: Testing the Spectral Variation Hypothesis in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Tropical forests have high species richness, being considered the most diverse and complex ecosystems in the world. Research on the variation and maintenance of biodiversity in these ecosystems is important for establishing conservation strategies.
