Gentry Forest Transect Data Set MONOGRAPHS IN SYSTEMATIC BOTANY FROM THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN, VOLUME 89 Our Price: $15.00 ISBN: 9780915279128 Qty: Description Alwyn H. Gentry was widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading authorities on the botany of tropical America, but died far too soon when his airplane crashed into an isolated mountain ridge in western Ecuador in August 1993. In addition to his impressive studies on the systematics of Bignoniaceae and tropical floristics, Gentry had been involved since the early 1970s, building a unique data set of tropical an temperate forest samples. For over 22 years, Gentry collected data from 226 sites, spanning six continents. This volume summarizes the data from each of these 226 sites and includes environmental and diversity information, as well as a taxonomic summary of the species that were encountered.
