Living in a Dynamic Tropical Forest Landscape is a compendium of current knowledge of the so-called "Wet Tropics" landscapes of Northeast Australia. These forested landscapes are home to a high proportion of the continent's species and ecosystems, and have a special significance both nationally and internationally, recognized through World Heritage status granted to the region in 1988. The Wet Tropics forests of Australia face many of the major threats that other tropical forests around the world are experiencing. Like many of these areas, sustainable management has been hindered by a lack of baseline and applied research. This book reflects the multidisciplinary outcomes focused approach taken by the Rainforest Cooperative Research Centre, a partnership of research providers, including universities and CSIRO, and stakeholders including all levels of government, the tourism industry, conservation sector, and local communities including indigenous people. The book is presented in six sections with summaries by international luminaries who have placed the chapters in a global context. Social, cultural and economic dimensions are discussed, providing a holistic view of tropical landscape environments. Bringing together a wealth of scientific findings and indigenous ecological knowledge, this book will be of great global interest to a wide range of readers including students, scientists, policy makers and natural resource managers.
"This book should be on the shelves of every university library,certainly in Australia and arguably
in the world. Every rainforest research scientist, natural resourcemanagement and local government
organization in theWet Tropics should have a copy in the office; itis comprehensive and essential." (Austral Ecology, 2011)
"Any biologist or conservation manager interested in tropicalforests cannot overlook this book, and will find
much of interest and value. Entomologists and naturalists planningto visit northern Queensland will benefit from the perspective itgives, in a synthesis of lasting value which-I hope-will be afurther stimulus to conservation of thisunique suite ofecosystems." (Zentralblatt Math, 2010)
"There is probably no other volume that provides such a holisticand comprehensive perspective on the science, management, people,and economics of a tropical landscape."( The QuarterlyReview of Biology , September 2009)
"A comprehensive compendium of research information ... .Thereal value of this book is all the information it gives for futuresustainable management and conservation of the wet tropics."(Biologist, November 2008)"...editors Nigel Stork and Steve Turton ask whether there arelessons from the Australian Wet Tropics that can be appliedelsewhere? There certainly are! ...This book takes a uniquelycomprehensive and therefore exemplary holistic approach tolandscape science and sustainable management, and is a valuablecontribution that will certainly attract interest throughout theworld."
