Abstract

The article presents the study of reforestation by planting native tree seedlings in degraded lands of Costa Rica. It shows the comparative importance of local restoration approach and landscape-level factors in the process of restoration. Researchers use three approaches on restoration which realize the importance of planting design in seed deposition rather than the amount of forest cover within the specified area.
