The size at reproduction of canopy tree species in central Africa por Ouédraogo, D-Y., Doucet, J-L., Daïnou, K., Baya, F., Biwolé, A.B., Bourland, N., Fétéké, F., Gillet, J.F., Kouadio, Y.L., Fayolle, A.

“…Here, we quantified reproductive diameter for 31 major timber species across 11 sites in Cameroon, Congo, and Central African Republic. Specifically, we examined whether (1) between‐species variability is correlated with other species traits; (2) reproductive diameter varies within‐species among sites; (3) reproductive status varies with crown exposure; and (4) the minimum cutting diameter limits (MCDL) imposed by national forest regulations enable seed trees to persist after logging operations. …”
