Because forests exert such a major influence upon all that lives above, amidst, and beneath them, and on local and regional climates and soils as well, the loss of biological diversity in the species of trees composing various forest ecosystems is especially significant in terms of its potential for triggering subsequent changes in biodiversity within and among associated organisms. In the tropics, more so than elsewhere, subtle changes in dominant forest cover may lead to major changes in plant species composition – and thus, food chain dynamics – that may in turn initiate much greater and more obvious losses in local and regional biological diversity. Due to their value for a great variety of wood products, many species of tropical forest trees have been severely overexploited over the past two centuries, and especially during the latter half of the 20th Century. To that add the continuing practices of shifting cultivation, the wholesale landscape-level clearing of forests for agriculture and urbanization, and the catastrophic effects of fire and erosion often attendant to those practices, and it becomes obvious that, in tropical forest ecosystems, the key to maintaining biological diversity is to maintain the diversity of the dominant organisms - that is, the trees themselves. Tropical forests typify, to most people, the ultimate source of biological diversity on this planet. Indeed, of the more than 50,000 species of trees, worldwide, greater than 70% of them are tropical endemics. Moreover, the typical species mixtures of tropical forests are remarkably diverse – often, more than 250 tree species may be found growing on a single hectare in a young tropical rainforest. Conversely, in the more-or-less pristine, late-seral or old-growth tropical forests composed of lesser numbers of very large trees, it is not unusual to find only one or two individuals of the same species over an area of ten hectares. And, of course, it is in those very areas where most of the harvesting
