Chronosequence Resampling Elucidates Tree Community and Forest Structure Recovery Patterns in Restored Tropical Rainforest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We studied forest structure, tree diversity, traits and community recovery patterns in an age gradient of actively restored Afrotropical rainforest in 2013 and 2021. The results showed early signs of recovery for tree taxa richness, basal area, stem density and community similarity with variable recovery rates.
