Community dynamics during early secondary succession in Mexican tropical rain forests (2006, result): “Changes in forest structure and species composition during secondary forest succession in the Bolivian Amazon.”
Interacting effects of canopy gap, understory vegetation and leaf litter on tree seedling recruitment and composition in tropical secondary forests (2008, background): “Yet, few experimental studies have addressed the ecological factors and processes that influence tree regeneration during secondary forest succession (Finegan, 1996, but see Guariguata, 2000; Dalling and Hubbell, 2002; Peña-Claros, 2003; Iriarte and Chazdon, 2005; Dupuy and Chazdon, 2006).”
Secondary forests on anthropogenic soils in Brazilian Amazonia conserve agrobiodiversity (2010, background): “…(Guariguata and Ostertag 2001; Chazdon et al. 2007), but during the first years or decades after abandonment it may increase to an asymptote (Aide et al. 1995), show an intermediate peak (Aide et al. 2000; Feldpausch et al. 2005), or may not be correlated with forest age (Peña-Claros 2003).”
Species Dynamics During Early Secondary Forest Succession: Recruitment, Mortality and Species Turnover (2007, unknown): “Applying a larger size limit (2.5 cm dbh instead of 1.5 m height) clearly showed that most of species and functional group recruitment in these initial years are confined to the smaller size classes, in line with earlier suggestions from Okimori and Matius (2000) and Peña-Claros (2003).”
Successional dynamics of woody seedling communities in wet tropical secondary forests (2005, background): “1988; Peña-Claros 2003; Ruiz et al . in press).”
Amazon Rain Forest Succession: Stochasticity or Land-Use Legacy? (2015, background): “…studies of tropical rainforests, close attention to the selection of sites with a common landuse history resulted in relatively predictable successional attributes (Peña-Claros 2003), whereas in numerous others, stochasticity has been evoked to account for inexplicable assemblages (Norden et al.”
Vegetation Structure, Composition, and Species Richness Across a 56‐year Chronosequence of Dry Tropical Forest on Providencia Island, Colombia 1 (2005, background): “Tree density is generally higher in early compared to later age classes (Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Aide et al. 1996, but see Peña-Claros 2003).”
Resilience of secondary forest regrowth after slash-and-burn agriculture in central Amazonia (2005, background): “Comprehensive reviews on secondary forest succession have been published, among others, by Chazdon (2003), Finegan (1996), Guariguata & Ostertag (2001), Peña-Claros (2003) and Silver et al. (2000).”
Lifetime growth patterns and ages of Bolivian rain forest trees obtained by tree ring analysis (2006, background): “…and Tachigali were all characterized as relatively light-demanding species, occurring in earlier stages of regeneration and being intermediate in their shade tolerance as a seedling (Poorter 1999; Pena-Claros 2003) and Cedrelinga has previously been characterized as shade tolerant (Poorter 1999).”
Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, methodology): “…al. 1988), the sampling criteria used, especially when analyzing species diversity and composition (recovery speed increases with decreasing size-class sampled; Peña-Claros 2003), and the degree of isolation of the successional patch and the related propagule availability (Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000).”
Distribution patterns of tropical woody species in response to climatic and edaphic gradients (2012, background): “In the Bolivian Amazon, 31% of the 51 species evaluated showed a bell-shaped response in their abundance with time after shifting cultivation (Peña-Claros 2003), probably because of species differences in dispersal and differences in light-dependent growth and survival.”
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE AND STAND AGE ON ANNUAL TREE DYNAMICS IN TROPICAL SECOND‐GROWTH RAIN FORESTS (2005, background): “…of successional dynamics is largely based on chronosequence studies (Budowski 1965, Gomez-Pompa and Vázquez-Yánes 1981, Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Finegan 1996, Grau et al. 1996, Peña-Claros 2003), which limits our understanding of the effects of climate variation on successional dynamics.”
