This comprehensive and up-to-date book delves into the taxonomy, biodiversity, and ecology of climbers in India, a captivating subject that has long piqued the interests of ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Climbing plants, often overlooked in ecological studies compared to trees, play a significant role in the species richness of many tropical forests ecosystems. However, challenges in taxonomic assertions and a lack of standardized methodologies have led to their underrepresentation in plant inventories, resulting in their underrepresentation in regional floras.

There is a growing consensus about the increasing abundance and multifaceted role of climbers in tropical forests worldwide. To effectively contribute to constructing a global climber database, a valuable reference for fundamental research in climber ecology and evolution, it is crucial to understand the taxonomic diversity and ecology of climbers at the regional scale.

This book appeals to a wide range of professionals, including biodiversity researchers, taxonomists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, field biologists, forest managers, and naturalists. It provides valuable insights into the taxonomy, distribution, habitat preferences, and ecological significance of climbers in India, shedding light on their role in shaping the biodiversity and ecological dynamics of these ecosystems.

By exploring the taxonomic diversity and ecology of climbers, this book contributes to our understanding of the intricate web of life and the importance of conserving these unique plant species. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts interested in biodiversity, ecology, and the natural world.
