Changes in the natural regeneration parameters through time and under different treatments. (a) Abundance, (b) mortality, (c) recruitment, (d) species richness and (e) diversity of seedlings on each survey date in unfenced and fenced plots. Fenced plots were not assessed in survey 1 because they were selected based on the first evaluation of the unfenced plots. Numbers from 1 to 5 correspond to consecutive surveys, which spanned a 2-year period. Yellow = dry season, blue = rainy season.
