Abstract
This book contains the results of a Symposium on the physiological ecology of plants of the lowland wet tropics held in Máxico in June 1983 organized by the Instituto de Biologia of the National University of Máxico (U.N.A.M.), and sponsored by UNAM, CONACYT, NSF and UNESCO (CIET). A workshop portion of the Symposium was held at the tropical research station at Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. This symposium originated in response to the increasing interest in the physiological ecology of tropical plants, because of the potential of this field to provide a basic understanding of functioning of tropical plant communities.
