The ecology and management of non-timber forest resources. - Washington : World Bank, 1996.

This paper describes the basic ecological characteristics of tropical forests and highlights those that influence the sustainability of production of non-timber forest products. The paper challenges the common assumption that the use of non-timber forest products is automatically ecologically benign and outlines the ecological processes governing the development and functioning of tropical forests.
