The FORECAT project investigates how cations affect the productivity of secondary tropical forests and how land-use changes impact this relationship. By integrating observational and experimental approaches, it aims to enhance understanding of forest recovery processes and inform sustainable land-use planning.
Biogeochemistry directs ecological recovery of secondary forests, and thereby impacts the rate of carbon accumulation along succession.
Recent observations suggest that cations (calcium, magnesium, potassium) limit forest productivity in the tropics, although research to date has largely focused on nitrogen and phosphorus.
Moreover, the intensification of land-use change impacts cation availability at the onset of succession, likely further constraining regrowth rates of secondary forests. FOREC…
