Relative importance of seed‐bank and post‐disturbance seed dispersal on early gap regeneration in a Colombian Amazon Forest
Early forest gap regeneration may be generated by postdisturbance seed rain and by seed,
seedling or bud banks (ie, resprouting). The relative importance of each process may …
