Abstract The aim of this research was to evaluate the survival and growth native tree saplings planted in a drained Mauritia flexuosa palm swamp (vereda) southeastern Brazil, identify suitable species for restoration projects these hygrophilous environments. Total sapling at one-year post-planting 48%. with highest were Croton urucurana, Cecropia pachystachya, Erythroxylum citrifolium, Hirtella...

Selective logging has affected large areas of tropical forests and there is increasing interest in how to manage selectively logged enhance recovery. However, the impacts active restoration, by liberation cutting enrichment planting, on tree community composition are poorly understood compared trajectories biomass Here, we assess long-term selective restoration for recovery species diversity, c...

Two remediations were tested for improving height growth and survival on a 2-yearold, failing, blue oak (Quercus douglasii) restoration project. Replanting acorns and seedlings with plastic treeshelters resulted in 75 and 88 percent survival, respectively, in areas previously showing almost total mortality. After 3 years, average height of replants (141 cm) exceeded the original planting (19 cm...
