Abstract
The problems of a shrinking world have focused new attention upon the global diversity of natural environments. Detailed vegetation and soils data were collected by an interdisciplinary team at 46 forest sites, and aerial photography was obtained of a representative sample of these. In addition a brief explanatory Life Zone mapping exercise was conducted in Thailand during 1965. The report examines the potential of a bioecological classification of tropical forests to organize quantitative data on undercanopy environments into a predictive system.
