内容説明

This book brings together recent advances in the research on the ecological functioning of the soil litter system of tropical plantation forests in relation to their management, which is of crucial importance for the growth of trees and sustainability of the ecosystem. This book includes contributions from internationally renowned researchers in the field, synthesizes considerable body of research available and provides adequate reference at the end of each article (chapter) for further reading. It should be of great value to and a resource book for environmental biologists, ecologists, soil biologists, soil scientists, plant ecologists, plantation managers, forest conservators, and many others with an interest in the tropics.
