Species Dynamics During Early Secondary Forest Succession: Recruitment, Mortality and Species Turnover (2007, unknown): “High stand-level mortality in young secondary forests, however, results in a highly dynamic stand structure (Breugel et al. 2006), and we found a positive relationship between stand-level mortality and the proportion of pioneers among the recruits.”
Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, background): “First, density of individuals rose at early stages but did not decrease as typically observed in TRF (see reviews of Brown & Lugo 1990, Guariguata & Ostertag 2001, and recent studies by DeWalt et al. 2003, Breugel et al. 2006).”
Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, methodology): “Models included sigmoid, exponential and rational functions commonly used to describe developmental responses in time (e.g. Peña-Claros, 2003; Breugel et al., 2006; Yemefack et al., 2006).”
Functional diversity changes during tropical forest succession (2012, background): “The first alternative is supported y data from our sites showing that biomass accumulated in fewer, igger individuals (van Breugel et al., 2006).”
