An archival review supplemented by the author’s field observations of traditional horticulture in five Micronesian high island groups is presented. Geographic, ethnographic, and archaeological aspects are considered, and a demographic/climatic model of initial human settlement and changes in land use over prehistoric time is proposed. Tentative associations are seen between basic geographic factors such as rainfall, slope, and soil types and the differential emphasis on tree or root crops in the study islands. Ecologically-oriented ethnographic field work to document within- and between-island variations in these tropical island farming systems is recommended for a better understanding of the environmental and cultural controls that have shaped Micronesian horticulture past and present.
