Recovery of woody plant diversity in tropical rain forests in southern China after logging and shifting cultivation

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Logging and intense shifting cultivation have caused major degradation of tropical forests and loss of biodiversity. Understanding the direct and indirect effects of those land uses on plant biodiversity is essential to the restoration of tropical forests. We compared the species diversity, community composition and basal area of all stems ⩾1cmdbh among 18 1-ha tropical lowland and montane rain forest plots with a...
