New World Trees (excluding Canada and the United States): A Selected Bibliographyfor Indentification

摘要

This bibliography of New World trees (excluding Canada and the United States ofAmerica) was initially planned to be published in the proceedings of the Golden Anniversary Symposium of the USDA Forest Service Institute of Tropical Forestry, now the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. Production schedules made it impossible to include the bibliography in Lugo and Lowe (1995) as was planned. However, the bibliography in sufficiently valuable to stand on its own as a special publication of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. Accordingly, the authors have arranged for its publication knowing that scientists and the public in general will benefit from its use. This bibliography is the third publication to result from the celebration of the golden anniversary of the institute, the other two being Lugo and Lowe (1995), and Lugo and Mastroantonio (1999). Users are encouraged to correspond with the institute as the authors continue to do their best to organize and update the collective knowledge on tropical trees and tropical forests.
