Applied nucleation is a straightforward, cost-effective forest restoration approach: reply to Ramirez-Soto et al. (2018)

摘要

We agree with Ramirez-Soto and colleagues that applied nucleation can be an effective approach for tropical forest restoration both in lowland and higher elevation tropical forests. We also contend that it is cheaper than standard plantation-style plantings and is straightforward to train personnel to implement this approach.
