Abstract
In the previous section features of morphology and growth of trees have been discussed, with a major concern for tropical species; parts and processes have been emphasized, but there has been little discussion of the overall organization of the tree. This aspect becomes the subject of the middle section of the book, in which, tree “architecture” is described in terms of “models” within an “architectural continuum”. These terms have a special application in our usage and need an exact definition.
