DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0226474
Abstract: Seed arrival is a limiting factor for the regeneration of diverse tropical forests and may be an important mechanism that drives patterns of tree species’ distribution. Here we quantify spatial and seasonal variation in seed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f10020123
Abstract: Secondary forests have become the major forest type worldwide, and are experiencing various disturbances and exhibiting obvious vegetation degradation (e.g., reduced biodiversity and decreased productivity) compared with primary forests. Forest gap is a common small-scale… read more here.

DOI: 10.5902/1980509835151
Abstract: Ecological succession depends on the seed rain. While the simple arrival of seeds is not assurance of establishment, knowing the seed rain is the first approach to assessing the succession process in sites undergoing forest… read more here.
