Figure 6. Pioneer (light-demanding and fast-growing) tree species importance related to disturbance intensity measures and wood density in a forest disturbed by a large blowdown, in Amazonas, Brazil.

Legend: (a) fraction of pioneers’ basal area related to sub-plot mortality; (b) fraction of pioneers’ basal area related to sub-plot mean wood density; (c) fraction of pioneers related to neighboring mortality; (d) fraction of pioneers related to gap size.
