dc.description.abstract |
We evaluated the impact of research access trails on adjacent seedling density, survival, and recruitment in a permanent tropical forest plot in Panama. Significant differences were detected up to 20 m from trails, indicating that data collected close to trails may be biased. However, observed effects were not substantial enough to affect plot-wide estimates of seedling dynamics, suggesting that research trail impacts are negligible when affected areas constitute only a small fraction of the total area sampled. Evaluamos el impacto de los senderos de investigación sobre la densidad, sobreviviencia y reclutamiento de plántulas adyacentes a ellos en una parcela permanente en el bosque tropical. Se detectaron diferencias significativas hasta 20 metros del sendero, indicando que los datos colectados cerca del sendero pueden estar influenciados. Sin embargo, los efectos observados no fueron suficientes como para afectar la dinámica de plántulas, esto sugiere que el impacto de los senderos de investigación es pequeño cuando estas áreas constituyen solo una fracción muy pequeña del área total muestreada. |
