Rather than follow a technical or clinical approach with a hierarchical categorization of ecosystems, Costa Rica's dense ecology is explored in a "journey-wise" sequence that provides familiarity and understanding of the country's full, varied range of intergrading seascapes and landscapes. The book begins with three introductory chapters focusing on Costa Rica's climate, geology, and soils to provide an understanding of the medium in which its ecology has developed, and then proceeds with a presentation of each of the country's ecosystems. These chapters review the research to provide a detailed description of each ecosystem, from its location, extent, and general function, to its characteristic species and the ways in which these species interact. The authors provide a summary of the effects that humans have had on the environment in each case, as well as the history, challenges, and successes of the relevant conservation efforts.
