Forest edge sites had fewer species, and a higher representation of common species than forest interior sites.
We considered three boundaries combinations: ecological (within passive restoration sites and within grazed sites); socio-political (between passive restoration and grazed sites); and interior sites (without boundary influence).
Eighteen open-pollinated families of seed parents from coastal and interior sites were obtained from an open-pollinated seed orchard (i.e. second generation of breeding), and 3.
Five open-pollinated families were obtained from plus trees in plantations in coastal sites (37°02′ S, 73°07′ W) and interior sites (37°06′ S, 72°30′ W) (i.e. first generation of breeding), Eighteen open-pollinated families of seed parents from coastal and interior sites were obtained from an open-pollinated seed orchard (i.e. second generation of breeding), and.

As the surface adsorption sites become exhausted, the uptake rate is controlled by the rate at which the adsorbate is transported from the exterior to the interior sites of the adsorbent particles.
Forest interiors had a significantly different fauna from the other four habitat configurations, and where differences between configurations occurred, interior sites tended to have fewer species and fewer individuals than the edge habitats.
However, Ban Tha Kae and Ban Chiang are the earliest interior sites dating to the Neolithic and are reported to have rice cultivation, but the evidence is based on rice-tempered pottery, so it may be open to doubt.
Higham (2002) originally proposed that rice agricultural expansion followed major riverine routes and would be archaeologically visible in interior sites, an idea previously put forth for Austroasiatic language expansion by Blust (1996).
