    Plant Diversity, Biogeography, and Conservation

    Edición de R. Toby Pennington, James A. Ratter ...
    Series series Systematics Association Special Volumes
    More often than not, when people think of a neotropical forest, what comes to mind is a rain forest, rather than a dry forest.

These same preconceptions can be found among scientists, as these ne ... Leer más

  • Second Growth

    The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation

    de Robin L. Chazdon ...
    For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second ... Leer más
