The first 26 years of forest regeneration in natural and man-made gaps in the Colombian Amazon

Twelve tree species of different demographies were studied at different stages of the successional sequence in the Colombian Amazon, both in cultivated areas abandoned by Indians and in natural gaps. The 13 selected study areas cover the first 26 years of regeneration, including four primary forest sites. All individuals belonging to the selected species were described within 1000 m2 study plots in 1982 and 1984. Demographic strategies have been analyzed on the basis of variations in frequency, basal area and stem volume. The importance of the 12 species in the regeneration process is discussed in the light of complete floristic and structural descriptions of the study sites.
