The Ecology of Trees in the Tropical Rain Forest
IM Turner
298 pages, 5 b/w illus, 73 figs, 30 tabs.
'This is an excellent book that does not restrict itself to a dry description of how tropical trees work. It bravely tackles the bigger issue of why different species of tropical tree adopt different solutions to complex environmental problems and looks for patterns that may have adaptive or evolutionary significance.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'The book gives a very complete picture of what is currently known about tropical rainforest trees. There is something for everyone - it is difficult to name a topic that is not dealt with.' Journal of Plant Systematics and Evolution '... this information-packed and up-to-date book is a must-buy for graduate level students and researchers in tropical forests.' Tropical Biodiversity
