Weedy fields and forests: interactions between land use and the composition of plant communities in the Peruvian Amazon

2000-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Slash-and-burn agriculture is a sequence of interactions between farmers and ecosystems, which includes forest, cropping, fallow, and cropping after fallow. In sampling across this sequence in Pucallpa, Peru, 235 plant species were recorded in the forest, of which 143 were not found in any successive land use. However, plants not occurring in the forest colonized fields and fallow. In total, 595 species were ident...
