Tropical Cloud Forest Ecology in Hainan Island (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces ecology of tropical cloud forests in China, a high-altitudinal tropical forest. The findings are novel in revealing environmental characteristics, community features, diversity patterns, plant strategies, community assembly mechanisms, and diversity-ecosystem functions of tropical cloud forests in China. The knowledge of this book will bridge the gaps of our understanding on the tropical forest in China and the world-wide, and will enrich the theory of tropical forest community ecology. Written by experts in the field, this book will serve as an invaluable reference for tropical forest ecology researchers.
