Tropical Rain Forest Ecology (Tertiary Level Biology)

This book dwells on the trees and other plants that make up the forests in which the animals live. The principal aim is to show the importance of change and diversity in the rain forest, and to try to indicate how humans and their habits are involved in this.

As in the first edition, this book deliberately dwells on the trees and other plants that make up the forests in which the animals live. Nevertheless, the forest cannot exist without the animals, so this edition does more justice to the zoological literature. A great deal of the text has been expanded and re-arranged to accommodate the surge of new work, which has not only added to our knowledge of rain forests but has often questioned certain dogmas in the subject. Although some of the early parts of the book have come through unscathed, having withstood the test of time, every chapter has been updated. Major revisions were called for in the sections on quaternary pollination and the sections dealing with anthropological issues. As in the first edition, the principal aim has been to show the importance of change and diversity in the rain forest, and to try to indicate how humans and their habits are involved in this.

Since the first edition of this book was written, public awareness of tropical rain forests has become so great that issues involving their exploitation are the stuff of daily newspapers, radio and television. The plight offorest-living peoples has become an international issue; concerns over the greenhouse effect and other climatic changes are often linked to rain forest destruction. At the same time, there has been an unparalleled scientific interest in the workings ofthe rain forest and an increasing concern by economists as to its potential in balancing the books of many developing countries. The need for an advanced yet concise and up-to-date synthesis of recent studies and a key to the increasingly voluminous literature on rain forests is even greater than it was in 1983. There are now many highly illustrated popular books on rain forests, as well as new editions of K.A. Longman and J. Jenik Tropical rain forest and its environment (2nd edition, 1987) and T.e. Whitmore Tropical rainforests of the Far East (2nd edition, 1984, many of the splendid illustrations from Introduction to tropical which are to be found in his rather less ambitious rain forests, 1990). Other very welcome regional accounts of rain forest biology in various parts of the tropics have appeared, notable being D.H. Janzen (ed.), Costa Rican natural history (1983); Earl of Cranbrook (ed.), Malaysia (1988); G.T. Prance and T.E. Lovejoy (eds), Amazonia (1984); A.
