Reproduction by vegetative fragments of cloud forest plants was studied at Monteverde, Costa Rica. The relative frequency of reproduction via seeds and plant fragments was quantified on trail edges and in forest understories, along an elevational and east-west gradient encompassing the Continental Divide. The proportion of young plants that originated from fragments in the understory increased with elevation and on the east-facing slope. A similar trend was found along the trail edge, with the highest proportion of fragments at the Continental Divide. The diversity and composition of plants that reproduce via fragmentation was compared among three sites (west-facing, Continental Divide, and east-facing). No significant species diversity ove...
