Floristic Inventory of Tropical Countries The Status of Plant Systematics, Collections, and Vegetation, Plus Recommendations for the Future

Floristic Inventory provides an evaluation & synthesis of the status of plant inventory & completeness of collections of rain forest vegetation in tropical countries, placing special emphasis on threatened habitats, zones of endemism, & endangered species. It draws together the expertise of over 60 scientists from around the world, & presents results of a joint research effort by The New York Botanical Garden, The World Wildlife Fund, The Missouri Botanical Garden, & The Arnold Arboretum. By doing so it aims to furnish scientists, conservationists, government officials, & land-use planners with a foundation upon which to build ecologically sound policy & plans pertaining to the development, utilization, preservation, & conservation of these rapidly disappearing ecosystems.Campbell, David G. is the author of 'Floristic Inventory of Tropical Countries The Status of Plant Systematics, Collections, and Vegetation, Plus Recommendations for the Future' with ISBN 9780893273330 and ISBN 0893273333.
