these effects, mining companies are increasingly obliged to restore abandoned mine lands …

Pioneer trees with fleshy fruits are typically planted in restoration projects to attract frugivores
as a mean to increase dispersal and accelerate forest regeneration. However, differences in …

Maximizing initial aboveground woody biomass (AGB) accumulation in order to obtain early
payments for carbon stocking is essential for the financial viability of reforestation programs …
