Improved grassland will be discussed chiefly to demonstrate that it is possible to simplify the forest ecosystem to a certain degree, frequently in connection with tree crops, but without the intention of suggesting a research program. The farming or cropping of large wild mammals will not be discussed but will be mentioned in connection with wildlife management. Harvesting and product transport and the socio-economic aspects of development schemes (though their direct or indirect influence on utilization is considerable) will not be considered except for the necessity of research.}, year = {1978}, journal = {Tropical forest ecosystems: A state-of-knowledge report prepared by UNESCO/UNEP/FAO}, pages = {453-487}, month = {01/1978}, publisher = {UNESCO}, address = {Paris}, isbn = {92-3-101507-9}, url = {http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4745455}, language = {English}, }
