The Ecology of Trees in the Tropical Rain forest

ISBN: 9780521801836. Book Condition – Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition – N/A. A summary of contemporary (2001) understanding of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees. The emphasis is on comparative ecology, an approach that can help to identify possible adaptive trends and evolutionary constraints and which may also lead to a workable ecological classification for tree species, conceptually simplifying the rain-forest community and making it more amenable to analysis.
