Impact of pathogenic fungi, herbivores and predators on secondary succession of tropical rainforest vegetation

2020-09-01

Abstract excerpt

There is growing evidence that top–down biotic factors play an important role in plant community dynamics and are able to maintain the high plant diversity of primary tropical forests. However, the top–down impact by herbivores on the accumulation of plant biomass, richness and the community assembly process remains poorly known for the initial stages of secondary ecological succession. Here we test the top–down e...
