Title
The impact of ancient Maya forest gardens on modern tree species composition in NW Belize
Nanci J. Ross OpenCommons - UConn (University of Connecticut) 2008
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Tree species composition of High density and Low density forest areas differs significantly
- Association Forest garden species are more abundant in the High density forest
- Observation Edaphic differences between High density and Low density areas are significant
- Association Pairs of tree species cluster together more often in High density areas than expected at random
- Observation Only 12 pairs of tree species show significant clustering in Low density plots
- Mechanism Ancient Maya forest gardeners may have exploited ecological characters that enhanced the stability of the garden community through synergisms
