R. A. Zahawi and C. K. Augspurger. 2006. Tropical forest restoration: tree islands as recruitment foci in degraded lands of Honduras. Ecological Applications 16:464–478.

Appendix B (Table B1). Dispersal mode, family, species, and site location (C = CRL, P = PLY, S = SFR) of all tagged tree seedlings that established in islands during the 2-yr study. Seedlings are grouped by island type and divided between core and expansion zones for artificial islands (GLR = Gliricidia, BUR = Bursera, OP = Open Pasture. Total area = 840m2 and 560m2 for core and expansion zones of artificial islands, respectively; area = 840m2 for open pasture islands).
