Seed development, yield and quality of two palm species growing in different tropical forest types in SE Brazil: implications for ecological restoration

Background

Natural forest remnants have been set as seed production fields to supply seeds of native tree species for tropical forest restoration, but the effect of different forest types on seed production has not been accessed to date for palm species. This study reports on seed development, yield, and quality of two palm species in different tropical forest types in SE Brazil.
