Abstract
Analysis of the 150 woody species recorded in a small area of old secondary forest showed that wind-dispersed species are most abundant in the upper synusiae and progressively rarer in the lower synusiae. Many of the wind-dispersed species are light-demanding seral trees and lianas, which persist in the old secondary forest only because they grow in the upper strata and remain fully exposed to light.
