“…These heavy fruiting events are frequent in tropical forests (de Steven, 1994;Norden et al, 2007), and include the two species studied (Herrero-Jáuregui et al, 2011). Based on the results of this study and those published by Herrero-Jáuregui et al (2011), it is reasonable to attribute light-demanding characteristics to these two species, which has major implications for their sustainable management. The comparison of the diameter structure in the different management situations studied can shed some light on the impacts of management, particularly in the case of D. odorata.…”
