Factors Limiting Tropical Rain Forest Regeneration in Abandoned Pasture: Seed Rain, Seed Germination, Microclimate, and Soil
Vegetation, seed rain, seed germination, microclimate, and soil physical and chemical parameters were measured in a recently abandoned pasture and adjacent primary rain forest in southern Costa Rica. The goal of this study was to assess the importance of these factors in limiting forest regeneration in abandoned pastures. Seed rain of animal dispersed species decreased dramatically in the pastu...
متن کاملInterspecific variation in primary seed dispersal in a tropical forest
1. We investigated the relationships of seed size, dispersal mode and other species characteristics to interspecific variation in mean primary seed dispersal distances, mean annual seed production per unit basal area, and clumping of seed deposition among 41 tropical tree species on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. 2. A hierarchical Bayesian model incorporating interannual variation in seed produ...
متن کاملLandscape-scale variation in forest structure and biomass in a tropical rain forest
A better understanding of the reasons for variation in tropical rain forest (TRF) structure is important for quantifying global above-ground biomass (AGBM). We used three data sets to estimate stem number, basal area, and AGBM over a 600-ha oldgrowth TRF landscape (La Selva, N.E. Costa Rica). We analyzed the effects of soil type, slope angle, topographic position, and different sample designs a...
متن کاملMulti-species fruit and seed removal in a tropical deciduous forest in Mexico
We determined patterns of post-dispersal fruit and seed removal for 11 common native plants, as well as sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.), within a tropical deciduous forest in Jalisco, Mexico. Removal values were high in Delonyx regia (Bojer) Raf. (90%), Crescentia alata Kunth. (87%), H. annus (81%), Pithecellobium dulces (Roxb.) Benth (81%), Albizia occidentalis Brandegee (80%), Coccolob...
متن کاملThe ecology of tropical rain forest canopies.
With the advent of increasingly sophisticated techniques for access, tropical forest canopy research has burgeoned in the last few years. Although an enormous amount of basic descriptive work remains to be done, canopy research is now entering a more advanced and ecological phase.
