Produktbeschreibung

Clearly and concisely written, this book challenges the paradigm that interactions should be considered independently, with little regard to context. Addressing the complex processes at the foundation of ecosystem diversity, this book promotes rigorous experimental design protocols as well as opportunities for further research developments in this field. It summarizes current understanding in the field, emphasizing positive interactions and spatial and temporal gradients. Written by international experts, the text addresses key issues in plant ecology and anthropogenic impacts through reviews, syntheses, and the proposition of new concepts.
