Last month I presented #ECTE2025 a study from the #PANTROP project (pantrop-eu.com) on growth form replacement in early succession. The succes of natural forest recovery is not only determined by the arrival or regrowth of trees, but also the competition with growth forms such as grasses and ferns.
