Abstract: | El reclutamiento exitoso desde semillas en bosques neotropicales implica una secuencia de etapas. La disponibilidad del polen y recursos consumibles por los arboles maternales puede limitar el numero de semillas producidas. La dispersion de semillas a un sitio determinado puede ser limitada por la densidad o la dispersion de arboles frutales, o por el agrupamiento impuesto por los procesos de dispersion de semillas. El establecimiento de semillas dispersadas puede ser limitado por la mortalidad debida a enemigos naturales, por ejemplo depredadores de semillas y herbivoros, o por factores abioticos tales como la disponibilidad de agua, nutrientes y luz. Como la limitacion impuesta por estas etapas puede verse afectada por la explotacion forestal selectiva, es necesario investigar el efecto de las practicas selvicolas sobre cada etapa en la dinamica del bosque. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Ecosistemas, 12(3), p. 1-16 | Publisher: | Asociacion Espanola de Ecologia Terrestre | Place of Publication: | Spain | ISSN: | 1697-2473 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060202 Community Ecology (excl.

The availability of pollen and resources to parental trees can limit the number of seeds produced. The dispersion of seeds to a given site may be limited by the density or dispersion of fruiting trees, or by the dispersion imposed by seed dispersal processes. The establishment of dispersed seeds may be limited by mortality caused by natural enemies, for example seed predators and herbivores, or by abiotic factors such as the availability of water, nutrients and light. As the limitations imposed by these stages can be affected by selective logging, it is necessary to investigate the effect of forestry practices on each stage in forest dynamics. |
