Linking disturbance history to current forest structure to assess the impact of disturbances in tropical dry forests

These disturbances heavily alter the characteristics of valuable remaining forest structures. There are gaps in knowledge about how the timing and type of disturbance affects forest structure in seasonally dry tropical forests.
