The relationship between stem vessel parameters and the development of strata in the early stages of secondary forest succession in Amazonia

Abstract: -In order to compare the development of strata in the early stages of secondary forest succession with vessel parameters of the tree species, a forest inventory was carried out in 4-year (Q1: 48 m 2 ), 11-year (Q2: 400 m 2 ) and 20-year (Q3: 400 m 2 ) forests and vessel respectively. The percentage of dead individuals, dead stems and the percentage of individuals with multiple stems increased with time after clear cutting. Also, the total D 2 H of Q3 was 26.1 times that of Q1, and the development of strata sta… Show more

“…In order to do so, they principally increase vessel diameter (Calkin et al 1986; Ty ree and Ewers 1991; Tsuchiya et al 2002). A variety of species of different sizes share the same space in forests and try to maintain them selves with personalized appropriate strategies, and they are not fixed but are in dynamic equi librium.…”

“…At closed forests, there are shade plants such as Poecilanthe effusa of Leg. Papilionoideae, which remains near the forest floor by sprouting new stems even though the main stem die (TSUCHIYA et al, 2002), but most trees compete toward the forest canopy (CHAMBERS et al, 1998). The solar radiation plays an important role in the extension growth at the forest floor (CHAZDON, 1988), and the neighboring tree individuals also grow due to the edge effect if a gap is formed (CAMARGO and KAPOS, 1995).…”
