Latin America is a megadiverse territory hosting several hotspots
of plant diversity and many types of forest biomes, ecosystems and
climate types, from tropical rainforest to semi-arid woodlands.
This combination of diverse forests and climates generates multiple
responses to ecological changes affecting the structure and
functioning of forest ecosystems. Recently, there have been major
efforts to improve our understanding of such impacts on ecosystems
processes. However, there is a dearth of studies focused on
Latin-American forest ecosystems that could provide novel insights
into the patterns and mechanisms of ecological processes in
response to environmental stress. The abundance of "New World" tree
species with dendrochronological potential constitutes an ideal
opportunity to improve the ecological state of knowledge regarding
these diverse forest types, which are often threatened by several
impacts such as logging or conversion to agricultural lands. Thus,
detailed information on the dendroecology of these species will
improve our understanding of forests in the face of global change.
Accordingly, this book identifies numerous relevant ecological
processes and scales, ranging from tree species to populations and
communities, and from both dendrochronological and dendroecological
perspectives. It offers a valuable reference guide for the
exploration of long-term ecological interactions between trees and
their environmental conditions, and will foster further research
and international projects on the continent and elsewhere.
