Differential ecological filtering across life cycle stages drive old-field succession in a neotropical dry forest

Miguel Martinez-Ramos et al.

Summary: The study investigated the changes in community attributes and phylogenetic structure of shrubs and trees at different life stages during the old-field succession of a seasonally tropical dry forest in Western Mexico. Results showed that the assembly of shrub and tree communities along succession resulted from a combination of abiotic filtering processes operating mostly on seedlings and biotic filtering processes operating mostly on resprouts. The implications of these findings for the management of secondary TDF in human-modified landscapes are discussed.

Relevance of secondary tropical forest for landscape restoration

Marie Ange Ngo Bieng et al.

Summary: Tropical secondary forests, growing in areas that have been subject to unsustainable human activities, are vulnerable to natural and human-induced catastrophic events. Active restoration geared towards wood production is suggested as an opportunity for conservation of these forests and to reduce logging pressure on intact primary tropical forests. Experimental evidence of enhanced wood production and ecosystem services in secondary forests through appropriate silvicultural experimentations should be a focus of future research in forest ecology and management.
