Although biologists have directed much attention to estimating the
extent and causes of species losses, the consequences for ecosystem
functioning have been little studied.
This book examines the impact of biodiversity on ecosystem
processes in tropical forests - one of the most species-rich and at
the same time most endangered ecosystems on earth. It covers the
relationships between biodiversity and primary production,
secondary production, biogeochemical cycles, soil processes, plant
life forms, responses to disturbance, and resistance to invasion.
The analyses focus on the key ecological interfaces where the loss
of keystone species is most likely to influence the rate and
stability of ecosystem processes.
