Overall, abiotic variables influenced the late succession tree communities more than anthropogenic induced disturbances.
A boosted regression tree analysis revealed that late succession tree communities are primarily determined by climate and topography.
They have been successfully applied to analyze forest succession, tree species composition and biomass (e.g., Fischer et al. 2016).
The main aim of the study, to distinguish long-term patterns in later succession tree communities, is therefore possible with the DBH threshold of 20 cm.
Trees with a minimum DBH of 20 cm were used for the classification to minimise differences in sampling intensities and to avoid the inclusion of early succession tree communities.
This study combined historical and modern forest inventories covering an area of 21,000 km2 in a transition zone in Namibia and Angola to distinguish late succession tree communities, to understand their dependence on site factors, and to detect trends in the forest composition over the last 40 years.

After logging on site (CIJH: Gorchov et. al. 1993 ) there were also large declines in seed load from forest to center of logging strips with many tree succession genera also seen after agriculture (e.g., Cecropia, Miconia, Piper : Myster 2004).
A spatially explicit landscape model, LANDIS, was used to simulate fine and coarse fuels and their dynamics in the Missouri Ozarks as influenced by forest succession, species establishment, tree mortality, wildfire disturbance and fuel treatments.
