Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (Paperback)

Prolonged seasonal drought affects most of the tropics, including
vast areas presently or recently dominated by 'dry forests'. These
forests have received scant attention, despite the fact that humans
have used and changed them more than rain forests. This volume
reviews the available information, often making contrasts with
wetter forests. The world's dry forest heterogeneity of structure
and function is shown regionally. In the neotropics, biogeographic
patterns differ from those of wet forests, as does the spectrum of
plant life-forms in terms of structure, physiology, phenology and
reproduction. Biomass distribution, nutrient cycling, below-ground
dynamics and nitrogen gas emission are also reviewed. Exploitation
schemes are surveyed, and examples are given of non-timber product
economies. It is hoped that this review will stimulate research
leading to more conservative and productive management of dry
forests.
