Stratification of tropical forests as seen in leaf structure

Focusing on leaf anatomy, this volume addresses significant knowledge gaps regarding the inner structure of trees in tropical humid forests. While previous studies have concentrated on a limited number of species, this work analyzes a comprehensive inventory of 230 species, allowing for an in-depth exploration of ecological aspects. The meticulous approach involves examining around 50 characteristics, providing a broader understanding of leaf anatomy and its implications for taxonomy and ecology in these diverse environments.
