Forest climbing plants of West Africa: diversity, ecology and management

Abstract

Based on original research, this book presents information on the flora (including a checklist), diversity (with overviews at several levels of integration), ecology (distribution, characteristics in relation to environment, their role in forest ecosystems) and ethnobotany. Forestry aspects, such as their impact on tree growth and development, and the effects of forestry interventions on climbers are also covered. This book should be of interest to those researching and studying in the areas of forestry and plant ecology.
