Cascading impacts of seed disperser loss on plant communities and ecosystems
Seed dispersal is key to the persistence and spread of plant populations. Because the
majority of plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds, global change drivers that …

Large carbon sink potential of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon to mitigate climate change
Tropical secondary forests sequester carbon up to 20 times faster than old-growth forests.
This rate does not capture spatial regrowth patterns due to environmental and disturbance …

It is not just about time: agricultural practices and surrounding forest cover affect secondary forest recovery in agricultural landscapes
Natural regeneration of forests has significantly led to increased native forest cover in some
regions. Several studies have explored the spatial drivers of forest cover increase, yet little is …
