"This book provides an in-depth historical review and novel synthesis of resource strategies in wild plants. Craine identifies distinct strategies associated with high resource supply and limitations of nutrients, light, water, and carbon dioxide. This multiresource approach to plant strategies overcomes inconsistencies in earlier strategy frameworks and is well-grounded in ecological, biogeochemical, and evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped patterns of terrestrial plant diversity. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the functional diversity of the planet and its likely future changes."--F. Stuart Chapin III, University of Alaska, Fairbanks "Accessible, concise, and clear, this book reviews and analyzes the main conceptual advances in plant ecology. A timely revision of plant strategies, it addresses fundamental questions, defines disciplines, and moves science forward."--Francisco I. Pugnaire, Spanish National Council for Scientific Research "Joseph Craine is one of the few people in the world with the expertise to have written this book, and he has done it with rigor, substance, and style. There is nothing comparable in the ecological literature. Logically developed, well researched, efficient, and engaging, this book should be required reading for anyone with a professional interest in plant ecology." --Matthew P. Ayres, Dartmouth College
