Elevation, Not Deforestation, Promotes Genetic Differentiation in a Pioneer Tropical Tree.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Castilla Antonio R, Pope Nathaniel, Jaffé Rodolfo, Jha Shalene

Abstract excerpt

The regeneration of disturbed forest is an essential part of tropical forest ecology, both with respect to natural disturbance regimes and large-scale human-mediated logging, grazing, and agriculture. Pioneer tree species are critical for facilitating the transition from deforested land to secondary forest because they stabilize terrain and enhance connectivity between forest fragments by increasing matrix...
