The tropical dry forest is the most threatened ecosystem in the neotropics, and management strategies are needed to conserve the last remnants of this type of forest. Using the plant diversity as an indicator, we evaluate the natural regeneration and the successional status of a forest in the Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Isla San Lucas. We established 13 plots where we measured tree diameter, height and crown cover. We also measured the regeneration by counting and identifying all the saplings of the plots. We calculated the basal area, aerial biomass, relative density, relative frequency, relative dominance and the importance value index (IVi) at the family and species level, on both the saplings and adult trees. The island forest pr...
