Project Title:
Distribution of Understory Terrestrial Herbaceous Plants in Lowland Ever-Wet Tropical Rain Forest
Abstract:
The terrestrial herbaceous plants of the understory form a large part of the diversity of tropical rain forests, yet very little is known about the diversity and distribution of this life form. In this study, I will document the occurrence of species of three related genera of large terrestrial understory herbaceous plants in three different habitats of a lowland tropical rain forest
