Factors affecting site productivity of a Costa Rican secondary rain forest in relation to Vochysia ferruginea, a commercially valuable canopy tree species :
The objectives of the present study were to estimate site productivity in a 28-year-old secondary rain forest and to identify the most important substrate factors correlated with it, in relation to a commercially important tree species. On the basis of the assumption that populations of tree species in neotropical secondary rain forests are approximately even-aged, we applied principles and methods of site quality evaluation for forest plantations to the study, and assessed their utility in the tropical forest context.
