Reviews

From the reviews:

The 22 chapters of the book are organized in three parts. … In summary, ‘Stability of Tropical Rainforest Margins’ presents a broad overview of the research area and can be recommended to anybody concerned with conservation and use of tropical rainforest from graduate students to senior scientists. … Each chapter provides extensive lists of references which might be of help for further readings in the specific field of research. A number of flow-charts, photos and figures illustrate the research questions." (Nina Farwig, Basic and Applied Ecology, Issue 9, 2008)

"In this book, 91 authors contribute their results and views in 22 chapters, organized in three parts. The chapters are based on papers presented at the international ‘STORMA’ (Stability of rain forest margins in Indonesia) Symposium held in Goettingen, Germany, in 2005. … there is much of interest for a very wide spectrum of scientists and policy makers dealing with tropical rain forests." (Marinus J. A. Werger, Phytocoenologia, Vol. 38 (1-2), August, 2008)
