Genetic consequences of tree natural regeneration in an anthropogenic area, Acre, Brazil.

Genetic consequences of tree natural regeneration in an anthropogenic area, Acre, Brazil.

Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata L., Meliaceae) and Yellow poui (Tabebuia serratifolia Nichols., Bignoniaceae) are economically valuable tropical tree species that have been threatened by predatory logging and forest fragmentation. Their seeds are wind-dispersed and both species colonize and grow in pastures. This study compared the genetic diversity of a 30 year pasture-established population to a forest population, located five km apart from each other in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil.
