About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“‘The first integrative book on the functioning and ecologically oriented use of floodplain forests in the tropics and the subtropics.’ The book deals with ecophysiology, biodiversity, and sustainable development and is divided in three parts. … Overall, the book covers a wide range of topics related to the biology and sustainable use of flooded Amazonian forests. … this is a substantial volume of work on valuable and extensive forest system, with relevance to other inundated forest regions across the world.” (Ernesto Medina, Biotropica, Vol. 43 (6), 2011)Editors and Affiliations
