Author Correction: Non-native and invasive tree species are abundant in neotropical secondary forest but decline over time
Correction to: Nature Plants https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-026-02327-3, published online 24 July 2026. In the version of the article initially published, in the left panels of Fig. 2 and Extended Data Fig. 1, the x-axis labels were “Maximum relative stem density sampled (no. of stems of the species/no. of stems in the plot)” but should have been “Maximum relative stem density sampled (%) (no. of stems of the species/no. of stems in the plot)”.
Non-native and invasive tree species are abundant in neotropical secondary forest but decline over time

Abstract Non-native and invasive species are among the leading causes of global biodiversity loss and could therefore compromise the recovery of native forests after disturbance, such as on abandoned agricultural lands. Here we evaluated how the relative density and richness of non-native woody species (NNS) change across secondary tropical forest succession, determined whether they vary between dry and moist forests and identified the underlying environmental and social drivers of these changes.
