Planting tree seedlings in small patches (islands) has been proposed as a method to facilitate
forest recovery that is less expensive than planting large areas and better simulates the …

Our research takes advantage of a historical trend in natural reforestation of abandoned
tropical pastures to examine changes in soil carbon (C) during 80 years of secondary forest …

Old-growth tropical forests harbor an immense diversity of tree species but are rapidly being
cleared, while secondary forests that regrow on abandoned agricultural lands increase in …

Conversion of abandoned cattle pastures to secondary forests and plantations in the tropics
has been proposed as a means to increase rates of carbon (C) sequestration from the …
