Tamm Review: Large-scale infrequent disturbances and their role in regenerating shade-intolerant tree species in Mesoamerican rainforests: Implications for sustainable forest management

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Forest management of tropical lowland and hill wet evergreen forests traditionally assumes that succession, species composition, and forest structure are largely driven by small, frequent disturbances. More recent ecological studies, archaeological findings, palynology and climate records demonstrate that tropical rainforests in general are not only subject to treefall disturbances but also to large-scale, infrequ...
