Classificatory systems for tropical trees. 330 $aOur knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a good understanding of the trees is essential to unravelling the workings of the forest itself. This book aims to summarise contemporary understanding of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees. The emphasis is on comparative ecology, an approach that can help to identify possible adaptive trends and evolutionary constraints and which may also lead to a workable ecological classification for tree species, conceptually simplifying the rain-forest community and making it more amenable to analysis. 410 0$aCambridge tropical biology series. 606 $aRain forest plants$xEcophysiology 606 $aTrees$xEcophysiology$zTropics 606 $aRain forest ecology 606 $aForests and forestry$zTropics 615 0$aRain forest plants$xEcophysiology. 615 0$aTrees$xEcophysiology 615 0$aRain forest ecology. 615 0$aForests and forestry 676 $a577.34 700 $aTurner$b I.
