  • The study [17] reports on this phenomenon by which the urban forest gains in biodiversity and subsequently serves as a reservoir and relay of biodiversity: Site colonization by native species was particularly high at sites ≤100m from existing native vegetation, suggesting that even small patches of native vegetation in urban landscapes will be valuable as seed sources for accelerating native plant establishment at nearby receptive sites.

  • This study revealed that, without additional management intervention, restoration of mature, late-successional forest cannot be achieved by simultaneous planting of native species. (researchgate.net)
  • Although one-time planting of late-successional species is practiced in many restoration sites across Japan (Miyawaki 2004) , such practices are unlikely to lead to natural forest stand structure because, in natural forest, regeneration of late-successional species occurs gradually over many years.
