Abstract:
The effects of agriculture on forest biodiversity and ecosystem properties can persist decades or centuries after abandonment. Many Pacific island nations are experiencing declines in traditional agriculture. Seed dispersal and seedling recruitment are critical to forest regeneration, and this is particularly relevant for Polynesia where native seed disperser diversity is low and species have been extirpated to crisis levels. In this study we asked: are secondary lowland tropical forests converging to mature forest, and are there seedling recruitment and survival differences between forest types?
