This book contains the results of a Symposium on the physiological
ecology of plants of the lowland wet tropics held in Mexico in June
1983 organized by the Instituto de Biologla of the National
University of M"exico (U. N . A. M. ), and sponsored by UNAM,
CONACYT, NSF and UNESCO (CIET). A workshop portion of the Symposium
was held at the tropical research station at Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz.
This Symposium originated in response to the increasing interest in
the physiological ecology of tropical plants, because of the
potential. of this field to provide a basic understanding of
functioning of tropical plant communities. The study of
physiological ecology of tropical plants has been delayed in some
cases by the lack of conceptual framework, but also by the absence
of appropriate instrumentation and techniques with which to conduct
precise measurements under high temperature, high humidity field
conditions. Hypotheses and concepts of the physiological ecology of
tropical plants have been based mainly on observational data and
the analysis of growth forms and leaf anatomf. The early work of A.
F. W. Schimper and o. Stocker in Asia, and the extensive surveys
made by H. Walter on the osmotic potentials of plants in the
tropics and subtropics, constituted, until relatively recently, the
only available information on the water and carbon relations of
tropical plants.
