Aus den Rezensionen: "... Durch den Aufbau des Buches und die systematische Themenauswahl wird bereits deutlich, dass es sich bei dem Buchautor um einen Experten handelt ... Damit erweist sich das Buch ... nicht nur als umfassender Ratgeber fur die Praxis, sondern vermittelt zielgerichtet auf ein besseres Verstandnis auch notwendiges Hintergrund- und Detailwissen ... Damit ist 'Tropical Forest Seed' ein Muss fur diejenigen, die sich spezifisch mit der Produktion und Erhaltung tropischer Baumarten auseinandersetzen ..." (Ludger Leinemann, in: Forstarchiv, 2008, Vol. 79, Issue 3, S. 123)
