Acorn removal, seedling survivorship, and seedling growth of Quercus crispipilis in successional forests of the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico
Quercus crispipilis (Trel.) is a dominant tree in mature pine-oak forests of the highlands of Chiapas (Mexico) and Guatemala. Seedlings and saplings of oaks and pines are found in early, open, seral communities, but are infrequent under the closed canopy of dense stands. To better define some of the factors affecting the regeneration of Q. crispipilis in fragmented forests, we studied acorn removal by animals, and the survival and growth of transplanted seedlings (2 months old) and saplings (30 months old) during a 21-month period in five seral stands (Grassland, Shrubland, and Early Successional, Mid-Successional, and Mature Forest).
