Vanaf de oprichting van de Akademie van Wetenschappen in 1808 tot 1 januari 2008 kregen 2820 beoefenaren van de wetenschap of de schone kunsten het bericht dat hun verdiensten erkenning hadden gevonden door een benoeming in dit ‘geleerd genootschap’. Of dat bericht nu per trekschuit, koerier te paard, postkoets, (brom)fiets, vliegtuig, telefoon, of e-mail werd overgebracht, het zal veruit de meeste ontvangers met trots en blijdschap hebben vervuld.

It analyses the factors that give rise to biodiversity and structure tropical plant communities. It also includes an atlas with ecological profiles of rare plant species and large timber species.
