描述 | Almost half of all life on earth may exist in the world‘sforest canopies. They may also play a vital role in maintaining theplanet‘s climate, yet they remain largely unexplored owing todifficulties of access. They are renowned for their great diversityand role in forest functioning, yet there are still great gaps in theunderstanding of this `last biological frontier‘. This seminal bookshows how canopy science is now in a position to answer many of theoutstanding questions, among which are some of the most pressingenvironmental issues society is presently facing. It represents amajor summary of the current understanding of canopy ecology, and mapsa path forward into a greater understanding of tropical forest ecologyand management at a time when the very future of this ecosystem isthreatened by humanity‘s actions. |
