Summary

The forest canopy is a largely unexplored scientific frontier whose potential for humankind has barely been scratched. Thousands of canopy species have never been described. Insights into the function and structure of forest ecosystems lurk in the branches of forest canopies. New medicines await discovery. Methods in Forest Canopy Researchprovides tools for explorers of this astonishing place poised between soil and sky. The authors reviewed methods of accessing the canopy, what to sample after you get there, how the biotic and abiotic conditions are different in canopy structure and function, and the best ways to determine how the canopy and forest floor interact.
