Fire suppression and seed dispersal play critical roles in the establishment of tropical forest tree species in southeastern Africa
Abstract This study examined the mechanisms of facilitation and importance of seed dispersal during establishment of forest tree species in an Afrotropical woodland. Seedling survival of Syzygium guineense ssp. afromontanum was monitored for 2.5 years at four different microsites in savannah woodlan...
