Sentence examples for forest dispersal from inspiring English sources

However, in addition to the loss of forest dispersal agents, other natural dispersal agents such as gravity, flash floods and slope wash involving downward processes may be ineffective, as forest has regenerated upwards to higher elevations.

For example, in a temperate forest, interspecific dispersal distance was positively correlated with estimates of fecundity for 14 canopy tree species [16].

Since this snail is strongly associated with oak forests, its dispersal may follow the tree expansion pattern.

The combined model simulates disturbances (fire, wind, harvesting), dispersal, forest biomass growth and mortality, and inter- and intra-specific competition.

Statistical results showed that alternatives that were more ecologically functional for forest bird species dispersal were also more visually preferable.

Our findings suggest several possible mechanisms for the slow recovery of the secondary forest, including strong dispersal limitation and the presence of long-lived pioneer species.

On the other hand, grassland butterflies are known to perceive forest as a dispersal barrier, potentially limiting the utility of such alternative habitats.

The ability of species to successfully establish in flooded forest relies on dispersal of relatively large seeds able to develop tall seedlings in a short period of time [75] and megafauna frugivores were probably central in the successful recruitment of large-seeded species in these habitats.

The recruitment of native species in human-modified forests are likely to be from the surrounding remnant secondary forests, or the dispersal of seeds from other areas by wind or small animals (Parrotta 1995).

This suggests that the connection to natural forests increases seed dispersal into adjacent farms.

Predicting forest-tree seed dispersal across a landscape is useful for estimating gene flow from genetically engineered (GE) or transgenic trees.
