Succession is a fundamental concept in ecology because it indicates how species
populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time on new substrate or after a …

Succession is defined as a directional change in species populations, the community, and
the ecosystem at a site following a disturbance. Succession is a fundamental concept in …

Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and
biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the …

Abandonment of agricultural lands promotes the global expansion of secondary forests,
which are critical for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. Such …

The multidimensional dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystem function during the rewilding
of Mediterranean forests remain poorly understood, limiting our capacity to predict how …

The long‐term contribution of global forest restoration to support multiple dimensions of
biodiversity and ecosystem function remains largely illusive across contrasting climates and …

Life forms are key to understand the changes in species composition and vegetation types in
space and with succession over time. We asked how life forms from dry and wet regions …

Despite the critical role of seed dispersal for tree colonization during forest succession in wet
tropical forests, successional trajectories of seed dispersal modes are poorly documented at …

Regenerated secondary forests in the tropics are resilient ecosystems. Differences in land-
use history and disturbance, abiotic and biotic site conditions, and successional pathways …

Secondary forests recovering after disturbances currently comprise about half of the world′
s tropical forests. A better understanding of the recovery of species composition, stand …
