Bibliography on tropical rain forests and the global carbon cycle: Volume 2, South Asia

This bibliography covers the literature on tropical rain forests,tropical deforestation, land-use change, tropical forest conversion, and shifting cultivation in South Asia (predominantly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh but also including contributions in Burma, Ceylon, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka). It covers not only rain-forest ecosystems but also other ecosystems that border, derive from, or influence rain forests. The literature included was selected because of its contribution to understanding the global carbon cycle, changes in that cycle, and rain forests' role in that cycle. Journal articles, books, and reports from 1880 to 1988 are included. The more than 4200 entries of this bibliography are ordered alphabetically by author and are indexed by subject and author.
