Table 4 Tree species parameters and dynamic rates for a semideciduous forest (SF) in Southeastern Brazil. T0 = before dam construction, T2 = 2 years after damming, T4 = 4 years after damming, M = mortality, R = recruitment, O = outgrowth, I = ingrowth. Only species with at least 20 individuals are shown
