Under threat from natural and human disturbance, tropical dry
forests are the most endangered ecosystem in the tropics, yet they
rarely receive the scientific or conservation attention they
deserve. In a comprehensive overview, Tropical Dry Forests in the
Americas: Ecology, Conservation, and Management examines new
approaches for data sampling and analysis using remote sensing
technology, discusses new ecological and econometric methods, and
critically evaluates the socio-economic pressures that these forest
are facing at the continental and national levels. The book
includes studies from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, and
Brazil that provide in-depth knowledge about the function, status,
and conservation efforts of these endangered forests. It presents
key elements of synthesis from standardized work conducted across
all sites. This unique contribution provides new light in terms of
these forests compared to each other not only from an ecological
perspective but also in terms of the pressures that they are
facing, and their respective responses. Written by experts from a
diversity of fields, this reference brings together the many facets
of function, use, heritage, and future potential of these forests.
It presents an important and exciting synthesis of many years of
work across countries, disciplines, and cultures. By standardizing
approaches for data sampling and analysis, the book gives readers
comparison information that cannot be found anywhere else given the
high level of disparity that exists in the current literature.
