- Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, background): “…by natural disturbances such as hurricanes and forest fires but also by human interventions, including subsistence slash and burn agriculture by indigenous Mayan farmers and conversion of forest to grasslands supporting livestock (Lamb et al. 2005), and are poorly represented under protected areas.”
- Homogenization of forest plant communities and weakening of species–environment relationships via agricultural land use (2007, result): “To the extent that our results apply elsewhere, we should expect a similar outcome to the massive afforestation projects in parts of China (Fang et al. 2001) and to the widespread reforestation of degraded tropical landscapes (Lamb et al. 2005).”
- Prospects for tropical forest biodiversity in a human-modified world. (2009, background): “Consequently the retention or management of structurally and floristically complex habitats like agroforests and secondary forests can often ensure the persistence of some forest species in managed landscapes (Lamb et al. 2005; Scales & Marsden 2008; Pardini et al. in press).”
- Measuring the success of reforestation for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2016, methodology): “A popular method of ecological forest restoration is reforestation, which is the re-establishment of native tree cover to land previously cleared of rainforest (Lamb et al. 2005).”
- Litterfall Dynamics Under Different Tropical Forest Restoration Strategies in Costa Rica (2011, background): “Indeed, strategies to overcome these barriers to forest recovery are particularly needed in the tropics, given the large areas of degraded lands (Lamb et al. 2005) and the need to maintain essential ecosystem functions.”
- Direct seeding of late-successional trees to restore tropical montane forest (2011, methodology): “Moreover, planting fasterrowing, early-successional species will serve to more quickly hange initial environmental conditions, shade out pasture grasses, nd enhance establishment of later-successional species (Ashton et l., 2001; Holl et al., 2003; Lamb et al., 2005).”
- Establishment of native tropical timber trees in monoculture and mixed-species plantations: Small-scale effects on tree performance and insect herbivory (2011, background): “…forestry as traditionally concentrated on monocultures based on a few ell-known exotic tree species (Evans and Turnbull, 2004; Kelty, 006; Lamb et al., 2005), recent research has emphasized the potenial advantages of native instead of exotic species, planted in mixed tands rather than in…”
- 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).”
- When family matters: an analysis of Thelotremataceae (Lichenized Ascomycota: Ostropales) as bioindicators of ecological continuity in tropical forests (2008, background): “Since the start of the conservation movement in the mid 20th century, increasing efforts are being made to revert the effects of deforestation, by protecting remaining rain forest and through reforestation and establishment of biological corridors (Uhl et al. 1988; Aide et al. 2000; Margules and Pre”
