This book brings together recent advances in the research on the ecological functioning of the soil litter system of tropical plantation forests in relation to their management, which is of crucial importance for the growth of trees and sustainability of the ecosystem. This book includes contributions from internationally renowned researchers in the field, synthesizes considerable body of research available and provides adequate reference at the end of each article (chapter) for further reading. It should be of great value to and a resource book for environmental biologists, ecologists, soil biologists, soil scientists, plant ecologists, plantation managers, forest conservators, and many others with an interest in the tropics.

Forests, Water and People in the Humid Tropics is a comprehensive review of the hydrological and physiological functioning of tropical rain forests, the environmental impacts of their disturbance and conversion to other land uses, and optimum strategies for managing them. The book brings together leading specialists in such diverse fields as tropical anthropology and human geography, environmental economics, climatology and meteorology, hydrology, geomorphology, plant and aquatic ecology, forestry and conservation agronomy. The editors have supplemented the individual contributions with invaluable overviews of the main sections and provide key pointers for future research. Specialists will find authenticated detail in chapters written by experts on a whole range of people-water-land use issues, managers and practitioners will learn more about the implications of ongoing and planned forest conversion, while scientists and students will appreciate a unique review of the literature.
