Most animal and plant species inhabit tropical forests. Hence the interest in the effects of tropical forest clearance on biological diversity. The book provides a conservationist's perception of how fast tropical forests are being lost and what the consequences are for biological diversity.
"Foundations of Tropical Forest Biology" presents a timely
collection of pioneering work in the study of these diverse and
fascinating ecosystems. Modeled on the highly successful
"Foundations of Ecology, " this book consists of facsimiles of
papers chosen by world experts in tropical biology as the
"classics" in the field. The papers are organized into sections on
related topics, each introduced with a discussion of their role in
triggering subsequent research. Topics covered include ecological
and evolutionary perspectives on the origins of tropical diversity;
plant-animal interactions; patterns of species diversity and
distribution of arthropods, vertebrates, and plants; forest
dynamics and ecosystem ecology; conservation biology; and tropical
forest management.
