Описание: This book addresses the urgent and complex threats and challenges to the world`s forests posed by the four great problems of the age: climate change, conservation objectives, sustainable development needs, and the growing demand for affordable energy.
Описание: This volume presents a body of research conducted over more than thirty years, including an intensive interdisciplinary five-year study begun in 1991.

Описание: This book is not an exhaustive survey of known information in the manner of a text-book -the subject is much too big for this to be possible in a relatively concise volume- but presents a point of view. We are concerned ultimately with the analysis of tropical ecosystems, mainly forests, in terms of their constituent units, the individual trees. Many different approaches are possible in the analysis of tropical forests. A simple one is to treat the trees as obstacles which in a military sense intercept projectiles or are a hin- drance to foot soldiers (ADDOR et aI., 1970). A similar ap- proach might be adopted by an engineer confronted by a forest which has to be removed to permit road construc- tion. The timber merchant is concerned with the ability of a forest to yield saleable lumber. The interest here is in the size of the larger trunks with some concern for the kinds of trees. At a less destructive level the scientist aims to compre- hend the forest from many different points of view. The forester himself, in conjunction with the taxonomist, will wish to analyze the floristic composition of the forest and perhaps account for species diversity in an evolutionary time scale (e.g., FEDOROV, 1966; ASHTON, 1969). The evolu- tionary biologist in his turn may be concerned with repro- ductive strategies in forest trees (e.g., BAWA, 1974), espe- cially in a comparative way.

Описание: Although biologists have directed much attention to estimating the extent and causes of species losses, the consequences for ecosystem functioning have been little studied.

Описание: Until relatively recently the valuable tropical montane cloud forests (hereaf- ter usually referred to as TMCFs) of the world had scarcely come under the assaults experienced by the downslope montane and lowland forests.

Описание: This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmental management. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to humans, not nature.
