Secondary forests in Equatorial Africa. Côte d'Ivoire - Cameroon - F. E. A. [PDF]

, 2015
“Secondary” forests are very different to “primary”, “noble” forests with their tall trees. Their exuberant, inextricable vegetation, with more lianas and small shrubs than trees, grows on formerly forested lands cleared for agriculture.

Jointly soil properties affect N and P uptakes and utilizations in Pinus tabuliformis Carr. and Quercus liaotungensis Koidz. subjected to growing media with decomposed litter

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2023
Monocultured pine plantation is suffering ecological degradation that is highly associated with low regeneration. Decomposed litter is an important soil amendment for enhancing regeneration through promoting nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptakes and ...

Variations in Soil Bacterial Community Diversity and Structures Among Different Revegetation Types in the Baishilazi Nature Reserve

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
We compared patterns of soil bacterial community diversity and structure in six secondary forests (JM, Juglans mandshurica; QM, Quercus mongolica; MB, mixed Broadleaf forest; BE, Betula ermanii; CB, conifer-broadleaf forest; PT, Pinus tabuliformis) and ...

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

, 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.

Secondary Air Pollutants and Forests — New Perspectives [PDF]

The 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)

Natural 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.

Carbon pools recover more quickly than plant biodiversity in tropical secondary forests. [PDF]

, 2013
Although increasing efforts are being made to restore tropical forests, little information is available regarding the time scales required for carbon and plant biodiversity to recover to the values associated with undisturbed forests.

Bryophyte flora in upland forests at different successional stages and in the various strata of host trees in northeastern Pará, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2014
In the northeastern region of the Brazilian state of Pará, approximately 90% of the forested areas are secondary forests. Secondary forests are interesting areas for floristic studies aimed at determining the effects that clear-cutting has on bryophyte ...

Change in Phylogenetic Community Structure during Succession of Traditionally Managed Tropical Rainforest in Southwest China [PDF]

, 2013
Tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia are facing increasing and ever more intense human disturbance that often negatively affects biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine how tree species phylogenetic diversity is affected by traditional ...

Hunting for Sustainability in Tropical Secondary Forests

Conservation Biology, 2009
Abstract:  The interaction between land‐use change and the sustainability of hunting is poorly understood but is critical for sustaining hunted vertebrate populations and a protein supply for the rural poor.
