dc.description.abstractGrowth rates for 44 species of trees in a posthurricane forest in Nicaragua were measured. The pattern is consistent with the interpretation of succession as a two stage process: an initial building phase after the hurricane followed by a thinning phase. Localities that were damaged less from the hurricane are now entering the thinning phase of postdisturbance succession, while those subjected to the most severe damage appear to remain in the building phase.en_US
