Lianas and self-supporting plants during tropical forest succession. (2009, background): “The highest liana abundance and diversity, at a global scale, is found in tropical dry forests (Gentry, 1991; Schnitzer, 2005), where the canopy stature is generally lower and light penetration in the understory tends to be higher (Ruiz et al., 2005; Schnitzer, 2005).”
Changes in tree and liana communities along a successional gradient in a tropical dry forest in south-eastern Brazil (2009, background): “ICE = incidence-based coverage estimator and as DBH increases with forest growth, stem density decreases (Mizrahi et al. 1997; Saldarriaga et al. 1988; Denslow and Guzman 2000; Kennard 2002; Kalácska et al. 2004; Ruiz et al. 2005).”
Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, background): “…are related to heterogeneity of soil properties, topography and stage or age of forest succession (Clark et al. 1999; Trejo and Dirzo 2000; Ruiz et al. 2005; Chazdon et al. 2007), there is increasing interest in understanding the relative influence of environmental and spatial drivers of…”
Species Richness, Forest Structure, and Functional Diversity During Succession in the New Guinea Lowlands (2014, background): “As expected, based on observations from Neotropical forests (Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Ruiz et al. 2005, Letcher & Chazdon 2009), overall stem density in our survey plots was highest in intermediate secondary forest before the onset of stem exclusion.”
Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, background): “As for species richness, recovery in our forest was, at best, similar to both TRF and TDF (Guariguata et al. 1997, Ruiz et al. 2005).”
