| Abstract | Most of the worlds humid tropical forests have already been modified by human activities such as selective logging, understory fires, and clear-felling. Despite the ubiquity of these human-modified forests, we have a limited knowledge of their potential to recover key traits linked to ecosystem functioning. Here we propose a novel approach to further our understanding of tropical forests recovery to human-driven impacts. We analyze the wood density of trees and saplings in 121 plots (0.25ha each) located across a disturbance gradient in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. Wood density (wd) is a key plant trait, closely linked to important ecosystem functions and services, such as carbon storage. Saplings respond faster to human impacts than large trees and effectively represent the future of a forest stand, thus allowing us to make valuable inferences about the future ecological state of a forest. We combined the analysis of 31,095 stems with a 22-year chronosequence of satellite imagery data and plot-level environmental variables, including recovery time of forest plots, distance to the nearest forest edge, density of lianas, the amount of surrounding forest cover, soil clay content and mean plot slope. We found that wood density of saplings in undisturbed primary forests (wd = 0.70; SE = ±0.004) is significantly higher than in disturbed primary forests (wd = 0.59; SE = ±0.007) and in secondary forests (wd = 0.58; SE = ±0.016), indicating that the human-modified forests of the future may present a different set of traits, and therefore perform a different set of functions, than the future undisturbed forests. We also found that forests located less than 130m away from human-made edges or with high density of lianas (≥900 stems per hectare) may be impeded in their recovery from disturbance or clear-felling. These results indicate that future human-modified tropical forests may hold less carbon than currently expected. We urge scientists, governments and the civil society alike to start addressing the cryptic but severe impacts of human disturbances in remaining areas of standing primary forests and regenerating secondary forests. | |||
