• Active or Passive Forest Restoration? Assessing Restoration Alternatives with Avian Foraging Behavior (2011, result): “This is in accord with previous work that shows that tree species diversity, density, and vegetation structure in planted sites are significantly different when compared to passive sites (Cusak & Montagnini 2004; Florentine & Westbrooke 2004).”
• Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “For example, one of the strongest predictors of understory woody plant diversity on three distant, unmanaged plantations in Costa Rica was proximity to mature forests with native species diversity [Cusack and Montagnini, 2004].”
• Planting Seedlings in Tree Islands Versus Plantations as a Large‐Scale Tropical Forest Restoration Strategy (2011, background): “Planting tree seedlings is a common restoration strategy and is often successful in accelerating tropical forest recovery (e.g. Parrotta & Knowles 2001; Cusack & Montagnini 2004; Lamb et al. 2005).”
• Testing applied nucleation as a strategy to facilitate tropical forest recovery (2013, background): “Sm. (Vochysiaceae), that produce valuable timber and facilitate seedling recruitment (Cusack & Montagnini 2004), and two naturalized softwoods, Erythrina poeppigiana (Walp.)”
• Growth in pure and mixed plantations of tree species used in reforesting rural areas of the humid region of Costa Rica, Central America (2006, background): “Results of previous research also showed that these plantations facilitate regeneration of native woody species under their canopies thus serving to restore biodiversity in degraded lands (Carnevale and Montagnini, 2002; Cusack and Montagnini, 2004; Montagnini et al., 2005).”
• Consequences of Environmental Service Payments for Forest Retention and Recruitment in a Costa Rican Biological Corridor (2009, background): “Native species plantations have the potential to support diverse understory flora (Cusack and Montagnini 2004) and attract wildlife (Lamb et al. 1997), but the homogeneity of tree plantations may detract from natural forest connectivity.”
