About the Book

An understanding of the characteristics and the ecology of soils, particularly those of forest ecosystems in the humid tropics, is central to the development of sustainable forest management systems. The present book examines the contribution that forest soil science and forest ecology can make to sustainable land use in the humid tropics. Four main issues are addressed: characteristics and classification of forest soils, chemical and hydrological changes after forest utilization, soil fertility management in forest plantations and agroforestry systems as well as ecosystem studies from the dipterocarp forest region of Southeast Asia. Additionally, case studies include work from Guyana, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia and Nigeria.

Table of Contents:
Content.- 1 Forest Soils in the Humid Tropics: Characteristics and Classification.- Soils of rainforests: Characterization and major constraints of dominant forest soils in the humid tropics.- The World Reference Base for Soil Resources: An introduction with special reference to soils of tropical forest ecosystems.- Soils of the tropical forests of Leyte, Philippines 1. Weathering, soil characteristics, classification and site qualities.- Soils of the tropical forests of Leyte, Philippines 2.
