Abstract/Summary:
Planting disperser-limited trees that establish in open ground may bypass 30–70 years of species attrition in isolated remnants by attracting
animals that encourage normal processes of seed dispersal into and out of the fragments.
Development of criteria for selection of persistent, reasonably rapidly growing,
animal-dispersed species that are mixed with planted or naturally arriving pioneers will
be an important component of enrichment planting.
