Edge effects on the structure and dynamics of an Atlantic Forest fragment in northeastern Brazil

Abstract: Edge effects on the structure and dynamics of the canopy and understory of a forest fragment were examined in Igarassu, PE, Brazil. Two 10 × 100 m transects perpendicular to the forest edge (and divided into 10 × 10 m plots) were separated into outer (0-50 m) and inner edges (50-100 m) and their vegetations compared to those of 10 plots in a 20 × 50 m transect in the forest interior (280 m from the edge). The plots were the sampling units. All woody plants with stem perimeters at breast height (PBH) > 15 cm (c… Show more

“…Dry and wet forests vary substantially in wood density (Lima and Rodal, 2010; Silva et al, 2015). In low wood density species of dry forests, stem water storage capacity is high, and leaf unfolding and flowering depend on photoperiod and not rainfall (Borchert & Rivera, 2001).…”
