The following is a list of corrections for "Terrestrial Ecosystems" (2nd edition) by Aber and Melillo. The corrections are also available as a Word document. |
|
A note from the author: While the number of corrections isn't overly large you will notice that they are concentrated at the end of the book. As "Terrestrial Ecosystems" was going to press Academic Press sold its textbook division to Thompson Learning. As a result the last few steps in the process were rushed. Please excuse in particular the printing of the wrong figure on page 535 (figure E.2). The correct figure is at the bottom of this page. - John Aber 5 May 2003 |
