The book has been coveredi with contact, and apart from a neat ownership signature on the frontb end paper is immaculate. ix 320 pages. Contents: 1. Introduction and background 2. Plant strategies, models, and successional change: a resource-response perspective 3. Community composition and trends of dominance and diversity in successional ecosystems 4. The environment of successional plants: disentangling causes and consequences 5. Recruitment in successional habitats: general trends and specific differences 6. How do plants interact with each other? 7. Plant-plant interactions and successional change 8. Interaction and the evolution of response breadths and niches 9. Ecological and genetic variation in early-successional plants 10. Coping with a variable environment: habitat selection and response flexibility 11. Physiological trends of successional plants 12. Crossing the scales: can we predict community composition from individual species response? 13. From fields to forests: forest dynamics and regeneration in a changing environment. 14. Succession and global change: will there be a shift towards more early-successional systems?

Recensione

'I will strongly recommend this book to my students as a source of ideas, literature and general inspiration ... it is first-rate, and it is a unique mine of information and ideas that cuts a huge swathe across plant ecology ... It is very well produced, and the paperback version is excellent value. If you are interested in plants and ecosystems, buy a copy!' Colin Prentice, Endeavour

'... researchers interested in learning how they might link physiological, population and community ecology in understanding any ecosystem will have much to gain by reading this book.' Philip W. Rundel, Trends in Ecology and Evolution

'This book is filled with a wealth of information and ideas that, no doubt, will serve as a source of inspiration for students and research investigations for years to come.' H. A. Mooney, Tree Physiology

'The book is illustrated with a huge number of clear figures, its language is easy to understand, the cited references are numerous and valuable. Besides its high scientific value the book makes an interesting and fascinating read.' K. Szente, Journal of Plant Physiology

' ... a gem: self-contained in style, reference and content, a first calling point for all my future enquiries about successional processes.' Annals of Botany Company

Descrizione libreria

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.
