Neotropical Savannas and Seasonally Dry Forests: Plant Diversity, Biogeography, and ConservationR. Toby Pennington, James A. Ratter CRC Press, 25 de mai. de 2006 - 504 páginas More often than not, when people think of a neotropical forest, what comes to mind is a rain forest, rather than a dry forest. Just as typically, when they imagine a savanna, they visualize the African plains, rather than those dry woodlands and grasslands found in the Neotropics. These same preconceptions can be found among scientists, as these ne |
