They are also of great ecological importance as sources of water and other ecosystem services for millions of people living in the tropics. However, these valuable forest ecosystems are now increasingly being fragmented, reduced and disturbed by human interventions. This book originated from a lecture series on the tropical mountain forest organized by the G?ttingen Centre of Biodiversity and Ecology and held at the University of G?ttingen, Germany during the summer term of 2007. The volume presents a synthesis of current ecological research in Germany on the tropical mountain forest, from an interdisciplinary perspective. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Forest ecology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050575 650 0 Forest ecology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050575|zEcuador.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79068415-781 650 0 Forests and forestry|zTropics.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008104056 650 7 Forest ecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/932104 650 7 Forests and forestry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 932632 651 7 Ecuador.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205578 651 7 Tropics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1240674 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Gradstein, S.
