Stimulating seedling growth in early stages of secondary forest succession: a modeling approach to guide tree liberation.
Excessive growth of non-woody plants and shrubs on degraded lands can strongly hamper tree growth and thus secondary forest succession. A common method to accelerate succession, called liberation, involves opening up the vegetation canopy around young target trees. This can increase growth of target...
