Non-native trees fade as tropical forest canopies mature, study finds
0
·1 viewsA recent study conducted across ten tropical countries has found that non-native tree species are common in the early stages of tropical forest regrowth. These invasive species establish easily when forest canopies are still open and sunlight is abundant. However, as forests mature and canopies close, non-native species tend to decline naturally. The findings highlight that young regenerating forests are particularly vulnerable to invasion. Researchers say understanding this pattern is key to improving forest restoration strategies and supporting native ecosystem recovery.
