Changes in Forest Structure and Species Composition during Secondary Forest Succession in the Bolivian Amazon1 (2003, background): “Neverthe- less, there are other factors besides time since disturbance that affect the rate of forest recovery (Uhl et al. 1988, Brown & Lugo 1990, Guevara et al. 1992, Moran et al. 2000, Steininger 2000).”
Effects of remnant trees in fallows on diversity and structure of forest regrowth in a slash-and-burn agricultural system in southern Cameroon (2002, background): “…in Amazonia have shown that the variability in biomass accumulation in fallows of different ages was greatest among 12–15-y-old stands and appeared to be dependent on the timing of canopy recruitment of later-successional trees in relation to the senescence of large pioneers (Steininger 2000).”
Community dynamics during early secondary succession in Mexican tropical rain forests (2006, result): “Such rapid and early successional increase of basal area has been observed in other studies (Denslow & Guzman 2000, Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Steininger 2000), but not for secondary forests as young as ours.”
Resilience of secondary forest regrowth after slash-and-burn agriculture in central Amazonia (2005, background): “This study’s finding of the high susceptibility of secondary forest regrowth to degradation calls for continued research on the effects of heavier forms of land use such as multi-cycle slash-andburn and pastures (Feldpausch et al. 2004, Steininger 2000).”
Tropical forest recovery: legacies of human impact and natural disturbances (2003, background): “Some studies show slower rates of recovery in abandoned pastures compared to abandoned crop cultivation (Aide et al. 1995; Steininger 2000), while others do not indicate a consistent difference (Zarin et al.”
