They may also play a vital role in maintaining the  planet's climate, yet they remain largely unexplored owing to  difficulties of access. They are renowned for their great diversity  and role in forest functioning, yet there are still great gaps in the  understanding of this `last biological frontier'. This seminal book  shows how canopy science is now in a position to answer many of the  outstanding questions, among which are some of the most pressing  environmental issues society is presently facing. It represents a  major summary of the current understanding of canopy ecology, and maps  a path forward into a greater understanding of tropical forest ecology  and management at a time when the very future of this ecosystem is  threatened by humanity's actions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370499\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3606-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260.0cm x193.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 370.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343405314188,"sku":"9780792370499","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370499.jpg?v=1759286773","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792370499","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
