Welcome to an African cloud forest! As you set off down the mountain path, all you see ahead is a thick tangle of vines and bamboo trees. But the cloud forest is full of life, from a collared sunbird hovering over some flowers to a leopard stalking a giant forest hog. Day and night in the cloud forest, the hunt is on to find food - and to avoid becoming someone else’s next meal. All living things are connected to one another in a food chain, from animal to animal, animal to plant, plant to insect, and insect to animal. What path will you take to follow the food chain through the cloud forest? Will you . . . Watch a fierce honey badger battle a dangerous snake? Slink along with an African golden cat as it tails its prey? Munch on some leaves with a family of mountain gorillas? Follow all three chains and many more on this who-eats-what adventure!

Welcome to a Southeast Asian mangrove forest! As you wade through the tangle of mangrove roots, it’s hard to tell where the ocean ends and the land begins. The mangrove forest is humming with life. A dog-faced water snake lures a school of archerfish with her wiggling tail, and a macaque swings through the branches in search of mangrove apples. Day and night in the mangrove forest, the hunt is on to find food - and to avoid becoming someone else’s next meal. All living things are connected to one another in a food chain, from animal to animal, animal to plant, plant to insect, and insect to animal. What path will you take to follow the food chain through the mangrove forest? Will you ... Creep along the branches with a clouded leopard as it stalks a wild pig? Play with otters as they wait for their shellfish to open in the sun? Soar through the dark with a flying fox in search of flowers and seeds? Follow all three chains and many more on this who-eats-what adventure!

A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example. Here I take advantage of my many years working in ACF in Ecuador, to edit this book that contains the following sections: (1) ACF over space and time, (2) Hydrology, (3) Light and the Carbon cycle, (4) Soil, litter, fungi and nutrient cycling, (5) Plants, (6) Animals, and (7) Human impacts and management. Under this premise, international experts contributed chapters that consist of reviews of what is known about their topic, of what research they have done, and of what needs to be done in the future. This work is suitable for graduate students, professors, scientists, and researcher-oriented managers.
