Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, background): “For their long-term use, sites were fenced to mark their limits and discourage human entrance while permitting passage to browsers (Lebrija-Trejos et al., 2008).”
Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, background): “Compared to other ecosystems, however, ecological studies in TDF are relatively new, have concentrated in a few sites and have seldom addressed secondary forest succession (Sánchez-Azofeifa et al. 2005; Chazdon et al. 2007; Quesada et al. 2009, but see Lebrija-Trejos et al. 2008).”
Species Richness, Forest Structure, and Functional Diversity During Succession in the New Guinea Lowlands (2014, background): “…forests, many in the Neotropics (Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Corlett 1995, Denslow & Guzman 2000, Bischoff et al. 2005, Ruiz et al. 2005, Chazdon 2008, Lebrija-Trejos et al. 2008, 2010, 2011, Norden et al. 2009) and some in the Paleotropics and Africa (Richards 1996, Sheil 2001, Slik et al. 2003, Mo…”
Conservative species drive biomass productivity in tropical dry forests (2016, background): “Recent studies suggest that light is not a major limiting resource in dry forests, due their lower and (seasonally) more open canopy compared to wet forests (Lebrija-Trejos et al. 2008; Lohbeck et al. 2013).”
β-Diversity and vegetation structure as influenced by slope aspect and altitude in a seasonally dry tropical landscape (2009, background): “The regional climate is tropical subhumid (Aw0) with mean annual temperature of ca. 26 C and mean total annual precipitation of ca. 900 mm (Lebrija-Trejos et al. 2008).”
Tropical Dry Forest Diversity, Climatic Response, and Resilience in a Changing Climate (2019, background): “This trend is also replicated in shrubs, which is problematic for the recruitment of and subsequent biomass growth of pioneer species in newly abandoned pastures [38,43,44].”
