Experimental tree assemblages on the ecological rehabilitation of a cloud forest in Veracruz, Mexico

The relative success of all assemblages and most individual species shows that it is possible to accelerate secondary succession in cloud forest by establishing assemblages of woody species juveniles. The results suggest that in this forest rehabilitation, any assemblage can be employed. Given the effects on each species, it is advisable to include the ones which exhibit the best survival and response under altered conditions in terms of crown size and height (Quercus, Carpinus, and Ulmus).
