Restoring rainforest fragments: Survival of mixed-native species seedlings under contrasting site conditions in the Western Ghats, IndiaBackgroundHistorical fragmentation and a current annual deforestation rate of 1.2% in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot have resulted in a human-dominated landscape of plantations, agriculture, and developed areas, with embedded rainforest fragments that form biodiversity refuges and animal corridors. This study evaluates restoration efficacy for tropical rainforest under three different site conditions in the Anamalai hills, India. Available with subscription or purchase |
