Deforested habitats lack seeds of late-successional and large-seeded plant species in tropical montane forests

摘要

Questions(1) How do seed density and species richness of late-successional, pioneer and non-forest species change from forest interior to deforested habitats? (2) Are seed density and species richness of seed species dispersed into deforested areas enhanced by perch structures? (3) Do morphological seed traits of forest and non-forest plant species change from the forest interior to deforested areas?
