Abstract
In an era when tropical forest regeneration, seedling ecology, and restoration science have become central to biodiversity conservation, Guide to Amazonian Fruits, Seeds & Seedlings offers a long-needed reference for researchers and practitioners working in the Neotropics. Produced by researchers from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA) and collaborators, this volume represents a landmark contribution to tropical botany and forest ecology. It fills a long-standing gap in Amazonian plant identification by focusing on the earliest and most elusive stages of tree life: the propagules and seedlings.
