Abstract/Summary:
The establishment of tree plantations on degraded lands can facilitate the regeneration of native species that could not otherwise grow in open micro sites or in competition by herbaceous species. The present research investigated tree regeneration under mixed and pure plantations of native species at La Selva Biological Station in the Atlantic humid lowlands of Costa Rica.
