Abstract:Natural regeneration depends on surviving propagules in the soil, seed sources from a surrounding landscape mosaic, and dispersal agents. We compiled and analyzed four sets of case studies varying in degree of disturbance, for secondary forests recovering from logging, fire, and conversion to agroforest in Sumatra or Kalimantan (Indonesia) on mineral and peat soils. Data on tree species diversity, wood density frequency distribution (indicative of successional status, databases with over 6000 species exist), a… Show more
