[Extract] The first (edited) book, comprising 15 chapters from 26 contributing authors, brings together a collection of chapters concerned with how tropical rainforest ecology is altered by climate change, rather than simply how plan communities are altered. The strongly geographical approach emphasises interactions among humans, climate and forest ecology over time scales that recognise significant, long-term effects of human habitation of tropical forest systems
