  abstract = {{F}orests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? {U}sing the floristic composition of 1215 early successional forests (<= 20 years) in 75 human-modified landscapes across the {N}eotropic realm, we identified 14 distinct floristic groups, with a between-group dissimilarity of 0.97. {F}loristic groups were associated with location, bioregions, soil p{H}, temperature seasonality, and water availability. {H}ence, there is large continental-scale variation in the species composition of early successional forests, which is mainly associated with biogeographic and environmental factors but not with human disturbance indicators. {T}his floristic distinctiveness is partially driven by regionally restricted species belonging to widespread genera. {E}arly secondary forests contribute therefore to restoring and conserving the distinctiveness of bioregions across the {N}eotropical realm, and forest restoration initiatives should use local species to assure that these distinct floras are maintained.},
