Neotropical secondary forest succession: changes in structural and functional characteristics

Forest Ecology and Management, 2001
Abstract In this review, we highlight the main biotic and abiotic factors that influence the patterns of Neotropical secondary forest successions, referred as the woody vegetation that regrows after complete forest clearance due to human activities.

Convergence During Secondary Forest Succession

The Journal of Ecology, 1984
(1) Successional convergence in community composition was examined in terms of three questions: (i) for a given site is there a continuous shift in composition toward that characteristic of climax? (ii) does variation in community composition along an environmental gradient increase or decrease with succession?

Secondary succession in two subtropical forests

Plant Ecology, 1999
We studied secondary succession in two subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests near Shanghai, China that had been harvested 2–60 years earlier. Shrubs were thinned in one of the forests to about 60% of their original density for the first 20 years after harvesting. The other was not disturbed after harvesting. Five stands were sampled in each forest.

Secondary succession of natural Korean pine forests

Journal of Northeast Forestry University, 1996
The secondary succession of natural Korean pine(Pimis koraiensis) forests in Fenglin Nature Reserve, located at northern section of south slope of Xiaoxing’an Mountains, Heilongjiang, was investigated. The current forest types are represented by broadleaved mixed forests dominated by white birch(Betula platyphylla) and broadleavedconiferous mixed ...

Secondary Forest Succession on the North Carolina Piedmont

1981
In 1916 F. E. Clements outlined a set of general principles that he felt described not only the events but also the mechanisms of succession. In Clements’ view, succession was a directional, predictable process of community change driven by the biotic reactions of dominant species converging onto some stable community composition and structure that was

Patterns of secondary succession in a mangrove forest of Southern Florida

Oecologia, 1980
Successional patterns were studied in mangrove forests which had developed recently in response to salinization of areas formerly supporting freshwater marshes along Biscayne Bay in North Miami, Florida. The population structures of these Induced Forests were compared with an adjacent Historical Forest which consisted of a nearly pure stand ...

The role of remnant forest trees in tropical secondary succession

Vegetatio, 1986
This paper emphasizes the contribution of remnant trees to the establishment of woody species during succession on abandoned fields and pastures in the Mexican rain forest area, Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz.

Succession Stages of Vegetation Regeneration: Secondary Tropical Mountain Forests

2008
Successional stages of a vegetation development leading from bare soil to a plant cover dominated by bushes and a few pioneer trees have been described by Beck et al. (see Chapter 27 in this volume). Under optimal conditions this succession continues to a secondary mountain forest. Analyzing this is an enormous challenge, not only from a scientific but

Secondary Forest Succession Following Abandonment of Mesa Verde

KIVA, 1977
ABSTRACTRelative increases of juniper and pine pollen have previously been observed in post-Puebloan abandonment deposits at Mesa Verde, Colorado, and have been attributed to secondary forest succession. However, the magnitude of these increases could not be determined from pollen percentages.Pollen analysis of soil samples from Mummy Lake, a Pueblo II-
