The Amazon ecosystem plays a vital role in global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation but faces escalating threats from deforestation degradation. resulting secondary forests (SFs) provide promising opportunity for Transformative Territorial Management, fostering restoration enhancing values. This study evaluated aboveground biomass (AGB), species diversity, forest structure, soil properties SFs of the Colombian along chronosequence, early to mature successional stages, landscapes mountains hills identify key indicators effective management. results show consistent increase AGB, quality with age, though recovery patterns varied between both evaluated. Topographic differences influenced dynamics, mountainous showing faster compared steadier, linear growth observed hill areas. In hills, AGB at 10 years reached 12.65% expected forest, increasing nearly 42% by 40 abandonment, rate 0.708 Mg C ha−1 year−1. contrast, mountain landscape, approximately 8.35% carbon increased 63.55% years. Forest age emerged as primary drivers recovery, while diversity structure played indirect significant roles. areas, practices are critical maintaining steady growth, whereas regions benefit assisted natural regeneration (ANR) accelerate recovery. These findings highlight importance prioritizing management central strategy achieving goals. Such essential enhance ecological resilience ensure their long-term sustainability, contributors efforts provision services.
