| | Résumé : | In Tropical Forest Ecology, Egbert G. Leigh, Jr., one of the world's foremost tropical ecologists, introduces the reader to the tropical forest, and describes the intricate web of interdependence among the great diversity of tropical plants and animals. Focusing on the tropical forest on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, Leigh Shows us what Barro Colorado can tell us about other tropical forests - and what tropical forests can tell us about Barro Colorado - in terms of climate, structure, and productivity. The book considers essential questions for understanding the ecological organization of tropical forest : How do tropical forest stay green with their abundance of herbivores? Why do tropical forests have such a diversity of plants and animals? And what role does mutualism play in the ecology of tropical forest? Beautifully written and abundantly illustrated, Tropical Forest Ecology will appeal to a wide variety of scientists in the fields of evolution, tropical biology, botany, zoology, and natural history. | | Type de document : | Livre | | Permalien de la notice : | https://infodoc.agroparistech.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=151267 |
