The goal of the present edited volume is to ââpresent a synthesis of the scientiï¬c output of the research undertakenââ to date. The objective was not to present an ââexhaustive overviewââ of the forest but rather to synthesize the results of research programs that were active at the station. The resident research programs were operating under the assumption that ââlong evolutionary processes lead plant and animal communities of different phyletic lineages to establish complex interactions that govern forest dynamics and the distribution of biodiversity.ââ The book is divided into ï¬ve parts including an introduction and
