Young tropical forests show many non-native trees while canopies remain open. As forests mature and canopies close, these non-native species tend to decrease. This pattern was observed across ten tropical countries in a recent study. Early forest regeneration is vulnerable to invasive species, which can establish easily. Understanding these dynamics aids effective forest restoration planning and native ecosystem recovery. Young tropical forests show many non-native trees while canopies remain open.
