Savanna soil fertility limits growth but not survival of tropical forest tree seedlings

Background and Aims Cerradão (Brazilian woodland savannas) and seasonally dry forests (SDF) from southeastern Brazil occur under the same climate but are remarkably distinct in species composition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of soil origin in the initial growth and distribu...
