Taxonomic identification of tropical trees is a slow process
because it requires local flora expertise to identify a highly
diverse number of species in a small area. There is significant
value in the finding new plant identification methods that will
allow scientists to conduct rapid tropical rainforest tree
inventories using simple techniques. Aerial identification is
presented here as an alternative tool that might complement
traditional taxonomy carried out on the ground. This book is a
guide for the new generation of tropical ecologists, biologists
and/or conservationists who want to utilise alternative techniques
for identifying tropical trees. The book explores the use of high
resolution aerial photography to identify tree crowns,
distinguishes the potential environmental drivers that may control
the presence of the trees in the tropical forest and identifies the
spatial distribution of key taxa in the landscape
