The soil seed bank (SSB) in forests is a key indicator of their resilience after disturbances. Despite the growing interest in describing patterns of SSB and understanding potential processes underpinning those patterns, we still know little about SSB patterns and drivers in semi-deciduous tropical ...

Coffee is the main tropical commodity traded in the world with its contribution is half of the total tropical commodity exports.
