Tree diversity in tropical rain forests: a validation of the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.
The "intermediate disturbance hypothesis," which postulates maximum diversity at intermediate regimes of disturbance, has never been clearly proved to apply to species-rich tropical forest tree communities and to local-scale canopy disturbances that modify light environments. This hypothesis was tested on a sample of 17,000 trees in a Guianan forest, 10 years after a silvicultural experiment th...
متن کاملRecruitment, growth and recovery of commercial tree species over 30years following logging and thinning in a tropical rain forest
Sustainable production of timber from commercial species across felling cycles is a core challenge for tropical silviculture. In this study, we analysed how the intensity and type (harvesting and thinning) of silvicultural interventions affect: (a) recruitment of small stems (5 cm 6 DBH < 15 cm), (b) increment of future crop trees (15 cm 6 DBH < 50 cm) and (c) recovery of harvestable growing st...
متن کاملHow mammalian predation contributes to tropical tree community structure.
The recruitment of seedlings from seeds is the key demographic transition for rain forest trees. Though tropical forest mammals are known to consume many seeds, their effects on tree community structure remain little known. To evaluate their effects, we monitored 8,000 seeds of 24 tree species using exclosure cages that were selectively permeable to three size classes of mammals for up to 4.4 y...

This current research was investigated the long – term effects of fire on vegetation and regeneration of beech (Fagus orientalis L.) in the mountain forest in Lesakoti forests in Tonekabon city in north of Iran. In both of burnt and unburnt areas, 30 plots 1000m2 and in total 60 sampling plots were identified using random-systematic 100 m × 150 m grid and density and DBH of trees and densi...
متن کاملPhysiological characteristics of tropical rain forest tree species: A basis for the development of silvicultural technology
The physiological characteristics of the dominant tree species in the tropical rain forest mainly belonging to dipterocarps as well as the environmental conditions especially for the light in the forest were studied to establish the silvicultural system for the forest regeneration in the tropical South Asia. The flowering patterns of the dipterocarp trees are usually irregular and unpredictable...
