Harvard Forest Book Republished as Classic Text

When Tropical Trees as Living Systems was published in 1978, tropical forests were a mystery to many ecologists. The book, edited by Harvard Forest botanist P. Barry Tomlinson with Martin Zimmerman, has been re-released this year in paperback by Cambridge University Press. The book publishes the results of the Fourth Cabot Symposium held at the Harvard Forest in 1976, in text that is meant to be easily accessible to an engaged, non-specialist audience.
