Product Information
The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve has captured the worldwide attention of biologists, conservationists, and ecologists and has been the setting for extensive investigation over the past 30 years. Roughly 40,000 ecotourists visit the Cloud Forest each year, and it is often considered the archetypal high-altitude rain forest. This volume brings together some of the most prominent researchers of the region to provide a broad introduction to the biology of the Monteverde and cloud forests in general. Collecting and synthesizing vital information about the ecosystem and its biota, the book also examines the positive and negative effects of human activity on both the forest and the surrounding communities. Ecologists, tropical biologists, and natural historians will find this volume an indispensable resource as will all those who are fascinated by the magnificent wonders of the tropical forests.

Reviews
"Monteverde is a unique tropical montane cloud forest region in Costa Rica with an established Quaker dairy community, artists' commune, and conservation zone that has become a destination for nature-loving visitors from around the world. This volume compiles dozens of contributions byconservation biologists, botanists, zoologists, entomologists, and other scientists who present scientific accounts of the physical setting, fauna, flora, and their ecological interactions, as well as reflections by residents and others who have worked to preserve this vital region."--SciTech BookNews, "Every graduate student and senior researcher who has doen, or plans to do, research at Monteverde or elsewhere in Costa Rica will want to have a copy of this book, as will almost anyone interested in tropical biology." -- Copeia, "Although guides for tourists have been available for years, this is thefirst comprehensive book on the natural history of Monteverde. The editors havebrought together over 140 contributors to tell us what is known aboutsystematics, ecology, and conservation, to highlight gaps in our understanding,and to promote education, research, and conservation. . .One intended audiencefor this book is the hundreds of students per year that take courses inMonteverde. For the most part, chapters can be read by advanced undergraduates,especially in conjunction with course instruction. Plenty is here for thededicated research biologist as well. Those with long experience in Monteverdehave peppered the text with hints, suggestions, and even semi-detailed outlinesfor projects. Graduate students may want to mine for ideas."--Ecology, "Every graduate student and senior researcher who has doen, or plans todo, research at Monteverde or elsewhere in Costa Rica will want to have a copyof this book, as will almost anyone interested in tropical biology." --Copeia, "Although guides for tourists have been available for years, this is the first comprehensive book on the natural history of Monteverde.

The information compiled in this volume will serve as a basis for monitoring the declines, fluctuations and variability of populations in Monteverde." -- Luis D. Gomez, Plant Systematics and Evolution, Vol 223, 2000"'Monteverde: Ecology and Conservation of a Tropical Cloud Forest' is an impressive 573 page volume which includes the work of 114 individual contributors, each selected for his and her specialized knowledge of Monteverde flora, fauna, history and biodiversity. This is a unique volume, the most comprehensive ever assembled on what is acknowledged to be the purest rain forest on our planet. They have a remarkably comprehensive volume to illuminate everything they see and study. Every aspect of the forest, from its physical environment, plants and vegetation, insect and spiders, amphibians and reptiles, ( including some haunting words on the disappearance of the forest's Golden Toad) birds, mammals, agriculture and more, much more, is thoroughly documented in a series of essays." -- Times Record, Sept 2000"This is a lucidly and cleanly written group effort by 114 contributors, all with experience with Monteverde field biology."--The Quarterly Review of Biology"An important book outlining the current knowledge of the ecology of one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. ...

In 1980, near the top of a bigleaf maple tree on the Olympic Peninsula, Nadkarni peeled back a thick layer ofepiphytes and found maple roots. The roots were similar in all ways to their subterranean counterparts--except that they were growing more than 60 feet above the ground. . . . She realized that the canopy is a type of forest atop the forest--a separate ecosystem, complete with arboreal earthworms,plants, beetles, and birds. . . . In 1994 she helped found the International Canopy Network, a consortium of professors, scientists, conservationists, and others interested in canopy research. In addition, she is soliciting comments on a potentially groundbreaking theory that the canopy can predictglobal climate change."--Audubon, "As a graduate student at the University of Washington, Nadkarni studiedepiphytes, or plants that grow on other plants and draw most of their water andnutrients from the air. . . .
