Succession and Regeneration Patterns of East African Mountain Forests: A ReviewbackgroundFor decades East Africa has experienced heavy tree felling, which has resulted in a change in species composition. This study conducted the phytosociological in Kenya and Ethiopia between 1992 and 1996 in order to understand the succession and regeneration processes in East African Mountain forests.

Survival and Growth of Seedlings of 19 Native Tree and Shrub Species Planted in Degraded Forest as Part of a Forest Restoration Project in Madagascar's HighlandsbackgroundThis study compares the survival rates of 19 native tree and shrub species grown in a forest restoration project in Madagascar’s highlands. The study results are used to compare the survival of relatively short seedlings compared to relatively tall seedlings for all species combined in order to test the importance of seedling size for restoration.

Intensive Tree Planting Facilitates Tropical Forest Biodiversity and Biomass Accumulation in Kibale National Park, UgandabackgroundThis study investigates how intensive planting affects tropical forest regeneration and biomass accumulation in reforested sites in Kibale National Park, Uganda. The study assessed species richness of naturally regenerating (i.e. non-planted) species in the park and compared the biomass accumulation of planted versus naturally regenerating trees in sites replanted by the Uganda Wildlife Authority.

Effects of Canopy Cover and Understory Environment of Tree Plantations on Richness, Density and Size of Colonizing Woody Species in Southern EthiopiabackgroundThis study investigates the effects of canopy characteristics and associated understory environmental factors of tree plantations on native woody species colonization in two broadleaved and two coniferous plantations in southern Ethiopia. The plantation forests investigated are surrounded by dry Afromontane natural forest. Available with subscription or purchase |
Caracterización sucesional para la restauración de la reserva forestal Cárpatos, Cundinamarca, Colombia (Characterization of the succession for restoration in Colombia)EspañolAntecdentesCon base en la caracterización florística y estructural se analizaron cuatro etapas del proceso de sucesión secundaria, dentro de una matriz de vegetación que había sido objeto de pertubación (185 ha) en la Reserva Forestal Cárpatos, localizada en la cordillera Oriental, entre 2600 y 3000 msnm, con el objetivo de contribuir a la preparación de un protocolo de restauración.

Evaluación preliminar de la sustentabilidad de una propuesta agroecologica, en el subtrópico del altiplano central de México (Preliminary assessment of the sustainability of an agroecological proposal in the the central highlands of Mexico)Frente al creciente interés del uso de enfoques sistémicos para la evaluación de sustentabilidad como herramienta de toma de decisions, los autores realizaron la evaluación de una finca universitaria ubicada en el subtrópico del Altiplano Central de México. En la primera fase del estudio (2004) se realizaron la caracterización, el diagnóstico y la evaluación inicial. Full resource not available online |
Expediting Reforestation in Tropical Forests Grasslands: Distance and Isolation from Seed Sources in PlantationsbackgroundThis study investigates the potential use of tree plantations to facilitate regeneration of indigenous trees in successionally arrested grassland. It focuses on how characteristics of the plantations and native species can determine the type of regeneration occurring in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Open access copy available |
A 10-year evaluation of the functional basis for regeneration habitat preference of trees in an African evergreen forestBackgroundThis study reports on the growth and survival of experimentally planted tree seedlings in the understory over a 10-year period in a moist evergreen forest at Kibale National Park in Western Uganda.
