Biotic Interactions in the Tropics: Their Role in the Maintenance of Species Diversity (Ecological Reviews) Book

Tropical forests and savannas house a significant proportion of global biodiversity. In order to understand how tropical ecosystems work we need to appreciate not only what plants, animals and microbes they contain, but also how they interact with each other. These interactions are important because they determine the ways in which ecosystems function, for example their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or respond to global change. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of what we know about the ecology of these interactions between tropical organisms.Read More

  • Product Description

    To understand how tropical ecosystems function we need to appreciate not only what plants, animals and microbes they contain, but how they interact with each other. This volume synthesizes the current state of knowledge of tropical biotic interaction, with chapters providing reviews or case studies drawn from research conducted in both Old and New World tropics, including interactions among taxa at all levels. An underlying theme of the volume is revealing the importance of the maintenance of high diversity in tropical regions.
