Plants in Changing Environments: Linking Physiological, Population, and Community Ecology - Hardcover
Synopsis
Human intervention and forces of nature lead to innumerable local, regional and sometimes global changes in plant community patterns. Irrespective of the causes and the intensity of change, ecosystems are often able to recover most of their attributes through natural succession. With the heightened interest in the fate of the biosphere, the emphasis on sustainable development worldwide and the possible consequences of global climate change, the study of succession and ecosystem recovery takes on added urgency. Successional theory will play a major role in ecosystem preservation, management and restoration. This updated new edition continues to provide a wealth of information on how disturbance changes the environment, how species function, coexist, and share or compete for resources in populations and communities, and how species replace each other over successional time.
