Diversity, Composition, and Biogeography of Trees in Tropical Mountain Forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia
Human activities are increasingly threatening the integrity of Earth's ecosystems. For successful conservation measures, one necessary prerequisite is an adequate level of understanding about the ecosystems and their constituting organisms. Currently, however, there are considerable deficits in our knowledge about which and how many species exist (Linnean shortfall), where these species are distributed geographically (Wallacean shortfall) and ecologically (Hutchinsonian shortfall), how abundant they are (Prestonian shortfall), and their evolutionary histories (Darwinian shortfall), among ot ...

It covers both natural and managed forests, from boreal, temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. In this second edition, the breadt...
Trees and Forests of Tropical Asia
"Exploring the Tapovan takes the reader on an expedition into the leafy, clammy, forested landscapes of tropical Asia. Peter Ashton and David Lee, two of the world's leading scholars on Asian tropical rain forests reveal the geology and climate that have produced these unique forests, the diversity of species that inhabit them, and the role of humans in modifying the landscapes over centuries. This work follows Peter Ashton's massive On the Forests of Tropical Asia, the first book to describe the forests of the entire tropical Asian region, from Sind to New Guinea. It provides a more condensed, accessible, and updated overview of tropical Asian forests aimed at students as well as tropical forest biologists, ecologists, and conservation biologists"--
