Tree mortality and recruitment in secondary Andean tropical mountain forests along a 3000 m elevation gradient.

This study addresses the understudied dynamics of mortality and recruitment in Tropical Mountain forests, critical determinants of forest structural processes and biomass turnover. We examine how these demographic processes change with elevation and varying degrees of forest recovery by utilizing tw...
