Measuring long‐distance seed dispersal in complex natural environments: an evaluation and integration of classical and genetic methods (2008, background): “It is a light demanding colonizer of large tree fall gaps (Brokaw 1985).”
Tree regeneration and microclimate in a liana and bamboo-dominated semideciduous Atlantic Forest (2007, unknown): “In some habitats of the Amazon region and the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, bamboos often ocuppy forest openings and preclude the regeneration of pioneer tree species modifying processes related to forest regeneration and gap succesion (Oliveira-Filho et al., 1994; Tabarelli and Mantovani, 2000; Silvei”
Response of recruitment to light availability across a tropical lowland rain forest community (2009, background): “Treefall gaps increase heterogeneity in light conditions and may contribute to the diversity of tropical tree species by providing opportunities for niche differentiation with respect to light requirements (Ricklefs 1977; Brokaw 1985).”
