Guilherme Aparecido Melo dos Santos; Valéria Forni Martins; Ana Carolina Cardoso de Oliveira; et al. Biotropica 2025. doi:10.1111/btp.70023

Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect Cutting plus planting most decreased climber basal area.
Intervention effect Cutting plus planting most increased large living tree density.
Intervention effect Both strategies reduced large dead tree percentage, with cutting having the greater effect.
Intervention effect Cutting plus planting increased tree sapling richness.
Intervention effect Management did not affect large living tree basal area.
Intervention effect Management did not affect tree sapling density.
Recommendation The authors advocate cutting plus planting as the best tested restoration strategy.
