“…The tree stem size distributions compared well with other Western Amazon flooded forests (see references in Myster 2009). In addition, the least-flooded forest had similar stem densities compared to unflooded forests elsewhere in the Amazon (Ferreira & Prance 1998;Pitman et al 1999;Thompson et al 1999). Several structural parameters conformed to the flooding gradient, which is decreasing in complexity as flooding increased, which may be due in part to root burial by sedimentation and oxygen deficiency in flooded forests (Junk 1989;Lopez & Kursar 1999).…”

“…Information gathered at the reserve from past scientific research and from local people working at the reserve was used to find these forest types and their young gaps (<3 years old). In each forested area, and also in the center of an average-sized gap found in the area, a 5 m × 5 m (25 m 2 ) plot was established as suggested for gaps of this size (Thompson et al 1999). This was replicated five times within each forest type.…”

“…also reported that lianas recruited en mass into natural treefall gaps, reaching very high abundance and often completely suppressing tree regeneration within 5 years of gap formation. In Brazil, Thompson et al (1998) monitored small trees and lianas over a period of 4 years in different gap sizes and concluded that liana densities in large gaps were twice those of interior forest. In a selectively logged forest in Uganda, Babweteera et al (2000) also found that lianas recruited rapidly and Table 2 Kruskal-Wallis analyses for the number and the level of liana infestation of big trees (>4 cm dbh) in chronosequence plots (0, 1, and 6 years after tree felling) and for the pre-harvest liana cutting vs. control plots a The number of degrees of freedom was 2 for the tests among the chronosequence plots and 1 for the tests between the liana-cut and control plots.…”

“…And, although few studies have directly compared survival of seedlings and sprouts, their survival rates are also likely to differ. While mortality of both seedlings and sprouts may be affected by herbivores (Moreno and Oechel, 1994) or fungal pathogens (Wenger, 1953;Augspurger, 1983), mortality of seedlings is more dependent on external factors such as light availability (Veenendall et al, 1995;Thompson et al, 1998;Kitajima, 1994) and soil moisture (Gerhardt, 1996). Sprout mortality, at least initially, is correlated with internal factors such as the size or age of the original stem, height and extent of stem damage, and number of sprouts sharing the same root system (Wenger, 1953;Blake, 1983).…”
