Abiotic Factors Influencing Tropical Dry Forests Regeneration
Tropical dry forests represent nearly half the tropical forests in the world and are the ecosystems registering the greatest deterioration from the anthropogenic exploitation of the land. This paper presents a review on the dynamics of tropical dry forests regeneration and the main abiotic factors influencing this regeneration, such as seasonal nature, soil fertility and humidity, and natural a...
متن کاملManaging the Dry Douglas-fir Forests
Uneven-aged interior Douglas-fir stand structure and dynamics are complexas a result of irregular fire history, insect and disease outbreaks, and variousforms of partial harvesting and range use. Stocking, crown closure, canopylayering, size-age relationships, and spatial distribution are highly variablefrom one stand to another and within any one stand. Many different factors<l...

متن کاملForest Structure in Low-Diversity Tropical Forests: A Study of Hawaiian Wet and Dry Forests
The potential influence of diversity on ecosystem structure and function remains a topic of significant debate, especially for tropical forests where diversity can range widely. We used Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) methodology to establish forest dynamics plots in montane wet forest and lowland dry forest on Hawai'i Island. We compared the species diversity, tree density, basal are...
متن کاملPhyllostomid Bat Occurrence in Successional Stages of Neotropical Dry Forests
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) are highly endangered tropical ecosystems being replaced by a complex mosaic of patches of different successional stages, agricultural fields and pasturelands. In this context, it is urgent to understand how taxa playing critical ecosystem roles respond to habitat modification. Because Phyllostomid bats provide important ecosystem services (e.g. facilitate gene flow ...
