Provides a descriptive overview of riparian primary succession near the Cocha Cashu Biological Station in the Manu National Park, Peru. Plant growth may be rapid in the early stages of colonisation of newly-formed alluvial deposits (where the characteristic pioneer woody species is Tessaria integrifolia), but the forest acquires the structure and species composition of the mature phase by a continuous filling out of the vertical profile over several hundred years. The mature phase comprises five strata, though any interpretation of such a structure must be tentative. Implications of mature forest structure on animal communities are noted. -P.J.Jarvis
