    I know the term 'old growth' or 'ancient forest' has been applied to
    forests in the mediterranean, temperate and boreal zones (e.g. North
    America, Europe, southern South America, northern Asia).  The
    ecological definition for old-growth usually includes large trees,
    multiple tree species in a range of diameter sizes and crown classes,
    and considerable amounts of dead wood.  Have these terms ever been
    applied to tropical ecosystems?  Any replies or references would be
    welcome.
