Co-benefits in biodiversity conservation and carbon stock during forest regeneration in a preserved tropical landscapeBackground:Recognizing the connection between carbon stock and biodiversity has become more crucial in light of the requirements set by international agreements. Consequently, a vital and indispensable measure for guiding relevant global environmental initiatives is to empirically investigating the potential advantages of restoring degraded areas through forest regeneration. This approach aims to boost both aboveground carbon stock and biodiversity, moving them closer to their natural levels. Available with subscription or purchase |

The carbon sink of secondary and degraded humid tropical forestsBackground:The Forest and Land use Declaration from the 26th Climate Change Conference of the Parties underscores the crucial role of tropical moist forests as a nature-based solution to address climate and ecological emergencies. However, the Amazon, Borneo, and Central Africa forests experience ongoing forest cover losses due to various anthropogenic drivers. This has led to a mosaic of recovering forests at different stages post-disturbance, with limited understanding of their impact on forest carbon dynamics. Available with subscription or purchase |

Forty Years of Tropical Forest Recovery from Agriculture: Structure and Floristics of Secondary and Old-growth Riparian Forests in the Dominican RepublicBACKGROUND:The value of secondary forests in the tropics has received increased attention in recent years. The recovery of tropical forests from agricultural use, given the increase in abandoned agricultural lands, has gained momentum. Yet, few long-term studies of post-agriculture vegetation recovery in the tropics exist. The study compares 40-year-old secondary forests regenerating naturally after agricultural abandonment with old-growth forests in the Dominican Republic's Cordillera Central.

Caracterización estructural y florística de un bosque secundario enriquecido de 15 años en la Región Tropical Húmeda de Costa RicaBackgroundEl estudio evalúa un bosque secundario enriquecido de 15 años en Costa Rica, originado en un pastizal abandonado. Los bosques secundarios son ecosistemas formados tras la eliminación de la cobertura primaria y tienen potencial económico, ambiental y de conservación de biodiversidad. Este caso analiza cómo la regeneración natural combinada con enriquecimiento puede mejorar su estructura y composición. Available with subscription or purchase |
Uso del efecto de borde de la vegetación para la restauración ecológica del bosque tropicalBackgroundEl artículo aborda la fragmentación de hábitats causada por la deforestación, lo que genera cambios en los procesos ecológicos, específicamente el efecto de borde. Este efecto se caracteriza por la generación de microclimas variables y condiciones dinámicas del suelo en la interfase entre el bosque nativo y la vegetación adyacente inducida. A nivel global, los bosques tropicales han sufrido una deforestación considerable, impactando negativamente la biodiversidad y los ciclos ecológicos. Available with subscription or purchase |
