Data from: Differing agents of physical damage to artificial seedlings in remnant and restored forests

We tested the importance of physical damage to seedlings as a bottleneck
to natural regeneration in restored tropical forest using an artificial
seedling experiment. After one year more artificial seedlings had
been damaged in restored forests (17.6 ± 2.6% SE) compared
to remnant forests (12.7 ± 1.1% SE), primarily due to greater
frequency of woody debris falling from planted trees. Vertebrate
damage was more common in remnant forests.
