Barriers to forest regeneration of deforested and abandoned land in Panama (2005, background): “Insufficient seed dispersal is a major limitation to natural regeneration at many neotropical sites (Uhl, Buschbacher & Serrao 1988; Aide & Cavelier 1994; Holl 1999; Holl et al . 2000; Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000; Zimmerman, Pascarella & Aide 2000).”
Direct seeding of late-successional trees to restore tropical montane forest (2011, background): “Natural regeneration of late-successional trees in fragmented and degraded landscapes can be strongly limited by a lack of seed dispersal into successional habitats (e.g. Duncan and Chapman, 1999; Holl, 1999; Rodrigues Da Silva and Matos, 2006; Wijdeven and Kuzee, 2000); this limitation is particula”
Direct seeding to restore rainforest species: Microsite effects on the early establishment and growth of rainforest tree seedlings on degraded land in the wet tropics of Australia (2006, background): “…been noted as a key factor affecting species distributions (Primack and Miao, 1992) and dispersal limitation has been suggested to be the most fundamental factor likely to impede recruitment of plant species to disturbed sites (Guariguata and Ostertag, 2001; Uhl, 1988; Wijdeven and Kuzee, 2000).”
Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, methodology): “…al. 1988), the sampling criteria used, especially when analyzing species diversity and composition (recovery speed increases with decreasing size-class sampled; Peña-Claros 2003), and the degree of isolation of the successional patch and the related propagule availability (Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000).”
FACTORS AFFECTING COMMUNITY COMPOSITION OF FOREST REGENERATION IN DEFORESTED, ABANDONED LAND IN PANAMA (2004, background): “The processes determining which species invade and participate in succession on deforested sites in the tropics remain poorly understood (Wijdeven and Kuzee 2000).”
Active or Passive Forest Restoration? Assessing Restoration Alternatives with Avian Foraging Behavior (2011, background): “…since abandonment, and, potentially, landscape factors (Chazdon 2003), lands that have been used intensively are severely degraded and that are far from seed sources may not recover naturally and could benefit from a more active restoration strategy (Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000; Günter et al. 2007).”
‘Nucleating’ succession in recovering neotropical wet forests: The legacy of remnant trees (2008, background): “…(e.g. Guevara et al. 1986; Guevara & Laborde 1993; da Silva et al. 1996; Holl 1999; Galindo-Gonzalez et al. 2000; Slocum & Horvitz 2000; Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000; Slocum 2001; Guevara et al. 2004), and to improved conditions for seedling establishment and growth beneath remnant trees, such as…”
Vegetation Structure, Composition, and Species Richness Across a 56‐year Chronosequence of Dry Tropical Forest on Providencia Island, Colombia 1 (2005, methodology): “Chronosequence classification has been done using interviews (e.g., Saldarriaga et al. 1988, Roth 1999, Kennard 2002, Vieira et al. 2003), or sometimes using a combination of visual interpretation of non-orthorectified aerial photos and interviews (Aide et al. 1995; 1996, 2000).”
Birds as agents of seed dispersal in a human-dominated landscape in southern Costa Rica (2008, background): “Depending on proximity to seed sources, previous land use (e.g. cattle grazing) and other landscape factors, achieving full rainforest recovery may require supplementing the services that birds provide with active planting of additional desirable species (Wijdeven and Kuzee, 2000).”
Tropical forest recovery: legacies of human impact and natural disturbances (2003, background): “Seed dispersal is often a major limitation to tree recruitment following human disturbances (Turner et al. 1997; Holl 1999; Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000).”
Natural Regeneration in Plantations of Native Trees in Lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Community Structure, Diversity, and Dispersal Syndromes (2011, background): “…to forest regeneration in degraded lands are related to seed bank losses (Holl et al. 2000), fruit-dispersal limitation (Aide & Cavalier 1994; Wijdeven & Kuzee 2000), high seed predation (Holl & Lulow 1997), soil nutrient reduction (Buschbacher et al. 1988; Holl 1999), and weed competition…”
