re: Alwyn Gentry
In highlighting a March 2025 essay in the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden on how he “Changed Tropical Ecology” Rhett Ayers Butler writes “What he produced was more than just a mountain of specimens; it was a coherent, replicable methodology that democratized field botany and allowed for comparisons across sites, regions and biomes. Today’s planetary-scale forest databases, such as ForestPlots.net and RAINFOR, are built on Gentry’s design principles.“
