The ecology of trees in the tropical rain forest / I.M. Turner.

Turner, I. M. (Ian Mark), 1963-

Call Number	577.34
Author	Turner, I. M. 1963- author.
Title	The ecology of trees in the tropical rain forest / I.M. Turner.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xiv, 298 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Cambridge tropical biology series
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	1. Introduction -- 2. The growing tree -- 3. Tree performance -- 4. Reproductive biology -- 5. Seeds and seedlings -- 6. Classificatory systems for tropical trees.
Summary	Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a good understanding of the trees is essential to unravelling the workings of the forest itself. This book aims to summarise contemporary 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.
Subject	Rain forest plants Ecophysiology. Trees Ecophysiology Tropics. RAIN FOREST ECOLOGY. Forests and forestry Tropics.

Summary	Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a good understanding of the trees is essential to unravelling the workings of the forest itself. This book aims to summarise contemporary 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.
