Tropical dry forests are the most exploited and endangered
ecosystems in the world. A combination of climatic and human
factors often reduce these forests to patches of dry scrubs or
savannas. Because these ecosystems experience a more arduous and
less anticipated environment, they are more prone to environmental
stress as plant communities are developed. Therefore, urgent
research is necessary to understand both the detrimental issues and
problem-solving approaches to conserving these important forests.
The Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of
Tropical Dry Forests is a pivotal reference source that combines
theory and practice on the current trends and issues in this
important ecological subject and discusses future challenges
towards conservation strategies of these tropical dry forests.
While highlighting topics such as forest management, natural
regeneration, and silviculture, this publication examines the
anthropogenic impacts on tropical dry forests and the necessity to
rebuild their ecosystems. This book is ideally designed for state
forest agency professionals, resource managers, non-governmental
organization agents, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists,
students, and researchers seeking current research on the threats
to these forests.
Provides a comprehensive discussion on adaptive mechanisms of
plants through their eco-physiological responses to various biotic
and abiotic stresses. Elaborates upon the recent techniques
involved in eco-physiological research. A detailed account on
evolutionary responses of plants to changing climate is provided.
Recent research results and some pointers to future advancements in
eco-physiological research. Information presented in an accessible
way for students, researchers and teachers practicing in plant
physiology and ecology.
