| dc.description | Today about half of the island has been naturally
reforested with native and introduced species (Lugo and
Helmer 2004). These new forests have been criticized
around the world, but studies showing the real influence
of introduced species upon the ecosystems are
relatively few. We studied the litterfall dynamics of a
secondary forest established in valleys at El Tallonal, in
the karst region of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. This forest is
dominated by Castilla elastica (Moraceae), an
introduced tree species from Central America and the
North of South America. It’s common in secondary
forests (Cokeley et al 2000) and is a deciduous tree
species. | |
