Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is a major synthesis of 25 years of intensive research about the montane ash forests of Victoria, which support the worlds tallest flowering plants and several of Australias most high profile threatened and/or endangered species. It draws together major insights based on over 170 published scientific papers and books. It provides a hitherto previously unrecognised set of perspectives of how forests function, and the ecological processes and spatial patterns that make a forest what it is and allow a forest to support many important elements of biota.
