Findings for vegetation parameters DBH, basal area, height, and biomass of trees and saplings increase from SS1 up to forest. As also expected, there are overlaps between minimum and maximum values The density of trees increases from SS1 to SS3, but decreases at forest sites. Dominant species at SS3 (e.g., Cecropia sp.) die off during the transition to forest. Also, at the forest community, trees continue to grow in DBH and height but the number of individuals decrease. The trend for density of saplings is the opposite. It constantly decreases from initial stages of regrowth up to forest indicating the importance of trees in more advanced recovery stages

Spectral curves for each group of plot samples

Vegetation StructureSpectral Responses

Conclusions SS1, SS2, SS3, and forest plots were well separated when using solely the data for vegetation structure (p<0.001) Analyses of reflectance on selected TM bands allowed the separation of only three of these classes (SS1 and SS2 mixed together, SS3, and forest). Vegetation structure is a better indicator than age for the discrimination of secondary succession stages

Ground cover data can provide useful information for secondary forest classification, particularly as a support for spectral mixture analysis Hypothesis to be tested Dar, what do you think?
