What is the aim of the review?
To assess the importance of facilitation and vegetative regrowth in the regeneration of tropical dry forests. The secondary question will assess the relative contribution of either seedlings or vegetative regrowth to the recovery of the site in terms of growth rates, %DBH recovered, %height recovered, %BA recovered, and %of the species recovered, i.e. a direct comparison of which contributes the greatest to the recovery of structure and floristics.
