In tropical forests, several reforestation programs have been created to recover biological
diversity in deforested environments. However, most of these studies have focused on the
loss of species and ignored the loss of ecological interactions and ecosystem services that
these species provide in their natural environment. Here, we assess how reforestation
(including both native and exotic species) and the distance from the forest matrix could
recover the following parameters: richness, composition, and ant–plant interactions in the …
