DOI: 10.1007/s10841-020-00263-x
Abstract: Throughout Southeast Asia, removal of old growth forests coincides with rapid expansion of secondary forest landcover. Increasing evidence suggests that secondary forests can contribute to conservation of forest species. The effects of deforestation and subsequent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13595-019-0844-9
Abstract: The gap dynamics in the studied secondary forest were comparable to those of other temperate forests; large openings were filled within 30 years by afforestation; large and medium gaps closed 30–40 years after they formed.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.03.006
Abstract: Secondary forests are promoted as having pivotal roles in reversing the tropical extinction crisis. While secondary forests recover carbon and species over time, a key question is whether phylogenetic diversity—the total evolutionary history across all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.12.030
Abstract: Effectively managing farming to meet food demand is vital for the future of biodiversity.1,2 Increasing yields on existing farmland can allow the abandonment (sparing) of low-yielding areas that subsequently recover as secondary forest.2-5 A key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.06.032
Abstract: Abstract Forest management involving the selective logging of exotic species in order to reestablish native flora alters microclimatic conditions and selects for species with heightened capacity to adapt to the new conditions. This study investigated… read more here.
