Statistical methods for estimating species richness of woody regeneration in primary and secondary rain forests of northeastern Costa Rica
The study of plant communities requires a basic understanding of the abundance, distribution, and number of species present. Yet, in obtaining this information, scientists can rarely sample the…
TROPICAL RAINFOREST GAPS AND TREE SPECIES DIVERSITY
TLDR
Interest in the role of adaptations by species to different regeneration sites in structuring plant assemblages in general and tropical tree communities in particular is heightened by rising rates of deforestation throughout the tropics and a critical need for management strategies of the remaining preserves.

A Risk‐Assessment System for Screening Out Invasive Pest Plants from Hawaii and Other Pacific Islands
Abstract:  Ecosystems of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands have been greatly affected by invasive pest plants, and ongoing, deliberate plant introductions make it likely that additional pest plants…

Light regimes beneath closed canopies and tree-fall gaps in temperate and tropical forests
Light regimes beneath closed canopies and tree-fall gaps are compared for five temperate and tropical forests using fish-eye photography of intact forest canopies and a model for calculating light…

Gap Partitioning among Tropical Rainforest Trees
TLDR
This paper summarizes data on regeneration patterns of trees within the framework of hypotheses that (1) tree species partition gaps of different spatial distributions and sizes and (2) partitioning occurs because regeneration strategies keyed to gaps of particular size ranges involve adaptive compromises that restrict the competitive success of the species in gaps of differing sizes.

Density and diversity of lianas along a chronosequence in a central Panamanian lowland forest
TLDR
Results have shown that their important contribution to total basal area and biomass can continue as the forest matures, even as the numbers of established lianas declines.

Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests
TLDR
A biomass recovery map of Latin America is presented, which illustrates geographical and climatic variation in carbon sequestration potential during forest regrowth and will support policies to minimize forest loss in areas where biomass resilience is naturally low and promote forest regeneration and restoration in humid tropical lowland areas with high biomass resilience.
