Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythidaceae) Regeneration in Logging Gaps in the Peruvian Amazon

Table 3

Mean area, canopy openness, and recruit density compared between logging gap and understory environments. Additionally, Soriano et al.’s results [17] on recruit density are included. Soriano et al. [17] collected logging gap data for both informal and formal logging types, while all logging gaps in our study were due to informal logging.

	Mean area ± SD (m^2)	Canopy openness ± SD (%)	Recruit density (ind · ha^−1)	Soriano et al. 2012 [17]; Recruit density (ind · ha^−1)
Logging gap	216.6 ± 34	19.7 ± 6.4	11.5	Informal: 7.6*	Formal: 5.8*
Understory	216.6 ± 34	7.6 ± 1.3	3.8	3.9*
