Beschreibung

This book brings together a wealth of scientific findings and ecological knowledge to survey what we have learned about the "Wet Tropics" rainforests of North Queensland, Australia. This interdisciplinary text is the first book to provide such a holistic view of any tropical forest environment, including the social and economic dimensions. * * The most thorough assessment of a tropical forest landscape to date * Explores significant scientific breakthroughs in areas including conservation genetics, vegetation modeling, agroforestry and revegetation techniques, biodiversity assessment and modeling, impacts of climate change, and the integration of science in natural resource management * Research achieved, in part, due to the Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Rainforest Ecology and Management (the Rainforest CRC) * Written by a number of distinguished international experts * contains chapter summaries and section commentaries

Rezensionen

This book should be on the shelves of every university library, certainly in Australia and arguably
"

in the world. Every rainforest research scientist, natural resource management and local government

(Austral Ecology, 2011)
organization in theWet Tropics should have a copy in the office; it is comprehensive and essential."

Any biologist or conservation manager interested in tropical forests cannot overlook this book, and will find
"

(Zentralblatt Math, 2010)
much of interest and value. Entomologists and naturalists planning to visit northern Queensland will benefit from the perspective it gives, in a synthesis of lasting value which-I hope-will be a further stimulus to conservation of thisunique suite of ecosystems."

( The Quarterly Review of Biology , September 2009)
"There is probably no other volume that provides such a holistic and comprehensive perspective on the science, management, people, and economics of a tropical landscape."

(Biologist, November 2008)
"A comprehensive compendium of research information ... .The real value of this book is all the information it gives for future sustainable management and conservation of the wet tropics."

"...editors Nigel Stork and Steve Turton ask whether there are lessons from the Australian Wet Tropics that can be applied elsewhere? There certainly are! ...This book takes a uniquely comprehensive and therefore exemplary holistic approach to landscape science and sustainable management, and is a valuable contribution that will certainly attract interest throughout the world."
