DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0337635
Abstract: Tropical dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, facing extensive degradation from land-use change. Understanding how biodiversity responds during forest regeneration is critical for conservation and sustainable land management. We assessed the community… read more here.
