Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, unknown): “Several researchers have found similar patterns (Denslow and Guzman 2000; Capers et al. 2005).”
Seed size, growth rate and gap microsite conditions as determinants of recruitment success for pioneer species (2002, background): “Gaps were created on the Buena Vista peninsula, an area of secondary forest c. 70 years old, contiguous with Soberania National Park (Denslow & Guzman 2000).”
Tropical forest recovery: legacies of human impact and natural disturbances (2003, background): “Other studies have examined changes in canopy structure, the frequency and size of canopy gaps, and light availability during forest recovery (Yavitt et al. 1995; Nicotra et al. 1999; Denslow & Guzman 2000).”
Species Richness, Forest Structure, and Functional Diversity During Succession in the New Guinea Lowlands (2014, background): “…conditions during succession, have been documented in a number of tropical 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…”
Secondary forests of central Panama increase in similarity to old-growth forest over time in shade tolerance but not species composition (2013, methodology): “They are representative of stands of similar ages and histories within the BCNM. Stand ages were estimated using historical records, aerial photographs and interviews with long-time residents (for details see Denslow & Guzman 2000).”
Successional dynamics of woody seedling communities in wet tropical secondary forests (2005, background): “Similarly, in a chronosequence study of Panamanian forests, Denslow & Guzman (2000) found that seedling densities were highest in 20-year-old second-growth sites (the youngest age class studied), decreasing to a minimum in 100-year-old sites; species diversity did not differ among forests after acco”
Changes in Forest Structure and Species Composition during Secondary Forest Succession in the Bolivian Amazon1 (2003, background): “This rapid structural convergence with mature forest has been found in other chronosequences (Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Gomide et al. 1998, Tucker et al. 1998, Denslow & Guzman 2000).”
Vegetation Structure, Composition, and Species Richness Across a 56‐year Chronosequence of Dry Tropical Forest on Providencia Island, Colombia 1 (2005, result): “Furthermore, we found the highest individual density in age class 3 (11–16 yr), in agreement with the results reported previously for dry tropical forests (Mizrahi et al. 1997, Kennard 2002) and by Denslow and Guzman (2000) and Saldarriaga et al. (1988) for tropical moist or wet forests.”
Distance effect from cloud forest fragments on plant community structure in abandoned pastures in Veracruz, Mexico (2006, background): “The fast recovery of species richness in smaller size classes has been reported for other tropical regions (Denslow & Guzmán 2000, Saldarriaga et al. 1988).”
The effect of spatially variable overstory on the understory light environment of an open-canopied longleaf pine forest (2002, background): “Studies in other systems suggest that spatial distribution of light may have great importance for community-level processes such as regeneration (Clark et al. 1996), species composition (Clark et al. 1996), and seedling abundance (Nicotra et al. 1999; Denslow and Guzman 2000 ).”
FACTORS AFFECTING COMMUNITY COMPOSITION OF FOREST REGENERATION IN DEFORESTED, ABANDONED LAND IN PANAMA (2004, background): “Denslow and Guzman (2000) also compare successional plots near ours with data from mature forest on BCI and report that primary forest species accumulate rapidly in the first few years after disturbance if propagule sources are close by.”
Species-habitat associations change in a subtropical forest of China (2009, background): “The poor sunlight conditions resulting from a higher density of large trees and topographic factors in the low valley habitat possibly restrained seedling establishment (Denslow & Guzman 2000; McEuen & Curran 2004; Fahey & Puettmann 2007).”
Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, background): “, 2009), for which the diversity of successional pathways and mechanisms observed has resulted in a continuous refinement of successional models (MacMahon, 1981; McCook, 1994; Denslow and Guzman, 2000).”
Forest and woodland stand structural complexity: Its definition and measurement (2005, methodology): “Dewalt et al. (2003) used a similar approach to characterise the diameter distribution of stands from a chronosequence in Panamanian moist tropical forest.”
