Taking readers out of the laboratory and into the humid tropical
forests, this comprehensive volume explores the most recent
advances occurring in tropical plant ecophysiology. Drawing on the
knowledge of leading practitioners in the field, this book
synthesizes a broad range of information on the ways in which
tropical plants adapt to their environment and demonstrate unique
physiological processes. This book is arranged into four sections
which cover resource acquisition, species interactions,
ecophysiological patterns within and among tropical forest
communities, and the ecophysiology of forest regeneration. These
sections describe plant function in relation to ecology across a
wide spectrum of tropical forest species and growth forms. How do
different species harvest and utilize resources from heterogeneous
tropical environments? How do patterns of functional diversity
reflect the overwhelming taxonomic and morphological diversity of
tropical forest plants? Such fundamental questions are examined in
rich detail. To illuminate the discussions further, every chapter
in this book features an agenda for future research, extensive
cross referencing, timely references, and the integration of
ecophysiology and the demography of tropical species where the data
exist. Tropical Forest Plant Ecophysiology provides plant
scientists, botanists, researchers, and graduate students with
important insights into the behavior of tropical plants. Biologists
and foresters interested in tropical ecology and plant
physiological ecologists will also benefit from this authoritative
and timely resource.
