Variation in woody vegetation among sites with different disturbance histories in the Argentine Chaco

We studied the composition and structure of the woody plant community in a logged/grazed forest, an abandoned road, a burned forest, and a primary forest as a control. The disturbances occurred 10 years prior to the study. The logged/grazed forest was similar in physiognomy to the primary forest, wh...

Zusammenfassung:	We studied the composition and structure of the woody plant community in a logged/grazed forest, an abandoned road, a burned forest, and a primary forest as a control. The disturbances occurred 10 years prior to the study. The logged/grazed forest was similar in physiognomy to the primary forest, whereas shrubs dominated the abandoned road and burned forest. Using rarefaction techniques, the total species richness (adult, >0.5 cm diameter, and saplings,
