Differential seedling regeneration patterns across forest–grassland ecotones in two tropical treeline species (Polylepis spp.)

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Successful forest expansion into grassland can be limited by seed dispersal and adverse conditions for tree seedlings in the grassland environment. In the high‐elevation Andes, human‐induced fragmentation has exacerbated the patchy distribution of Polylepis forests, threatening their unique biological communities and spurring restoration interest. Studies of Polylepis forest extent in Peru suggest that forest bord...
