Recovery of seedling community attributes during passive restoration of a tropical moist forest in Uganda

Enock Ssekuubwa et al.

Summary: The study compared seedling attributes in passively restored and old-growth forests, finding differences in species richness, diversity, and composition, while seedling density, height, and basal area were similar. Additionally, the results demonstrated that the impact of restoration age and distance from the old-growth forest varied depending on the attributes measured.

It is not just about time: Agricultural practices and surrounding forest cover affect secondary forest recovery in agricultural landscapes

Ricardo G. Cesar et al.

Summary: The study examined the impact factors of natural regeneration in the southeastern Atlantic Forest, Brazil, finding that factors such as Eucalyptus basal area and proximity to sugarcane plantations had a negative effect on forest biomass. Forest age, surrounding forest cover, and other drivers showed variable effects on forest attributes such as species richness and phylogenetic diversity.

Effects of landscape composition and site land-use intensity on secondary succession in a tropical dry forest

Nathalia Perez-Cardenas et al.

Summary: The recovery of secondary forests in the Mexican tropical dry region is influenced significantly by landscape context rather than site land-use intensity. This influence is related to landscape patterns affecting dispersal and recruitment limitations, as well as the likelihood of further human disturbances. Conserving landscape quality is crucial for enhancing forest recovery and maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.
