• Sommario/riassunto: This book addresses recent and novel studies with ecological and conservation relevance of forest ecosystems in the Andes. It provides new insights in a multi-scale perspective into forest management, landscape connectivity changes, forest biomass patterns and species composition, and biological invasions of Andean forests, in a context of anthropogenic disturbance and global change. The studies cover gradients of forest ecosystems from Venezuela to southern Chile.
