Microhabitat conditions for germination and establishment of two tree species in the Mexican Montane cloud forest

Mixed plantations of Carpinus caroliniana and Liquidambarstyraciflua are appropriate for rehabilitation in the cloud forestregion of Veracruz, México. To determine whether direct sowingof seed could be managed in ecological restoration activities, someabiotic and biotic conditions were studied for g...
