Delang, Claudio O.
Ecological Succession on Fallowed Shifting Cultivation Fields : A Review of the Literature by Claudio O. Delang, Wing Man Li. - Dordrecht, Netherlands Springer International Publishing 2013 - 1 recurso en línea (VIII, 127 páginas) 41 ilustraciones - SpringerBriefs in Ecology 2192-4759 .
1. Introduction -- 2. Forest structure -- 3. Species richness and diversity -- 4. Species composition -- 5. Factors contributing to differences in forest recovery rates -- 6. Conclusions.
The book reviews the literature on the ecological succession of plants on fallowed swiddens in tropical forests. Patterns of ecological succession in tropical forests are insufficiently understood, partly because results are scattered through a large number of case studies reported in academic articles. So far, no publication has attempted to bring these different case studies together to identify common patters and trends. The goal of the book is to review the different case studies, and identify common patterns of ecological succession in fallowed swiddens, as well as to pinpoint the factors that cause ecological succession in some areas to differ from those in other areas.
