Abstract/Summary:
Tropical forest recovery in pastures is slowed by a number of biotic and abiotic factors, including a lack of adequate seed dispersal and harsh microclimatic extremes. Accordingly, methods to accelerate forest recovery must address multiple impediments. Here, we evaluated the ability of “tree islands” to serve as “recruitment foci” in a two-year study at three sites in northern Honduras.
