Infos

Plant ecology is the scientific study of the factors influencing the distribution and abundance of plants. This textbook takes a fresh look at the subject, stressing the experimental approach to plant dynamics. The authors demonstrate how theoretical models, coupled with field and laboratotory experimentation, can lead to real insights into the functioning of plant communities, populations of individual species, and the dynamics of the growth and development of individual plants. The importance of interactions between plants and animals and between plants and soil organisms is stressed throughout.
