Tropical Forest: The Conundrum of Co-Existence

Synopsis: Looks at the biodiversity, structure and function of a tropical forest and advances three current ideas to explain how so many species of plants and animals can co-exist in such remarkable profusion. Filmed largely on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in Panama, the programme highlights the long-term census of 250,000 treaes in a 50-hectare plot at the centre of the island. BCI is the most studied tropical forest in the world and is administered by the Smithsonian Tropical Forest Institute.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
