Produktbeschreibung

Following in the footsteps of the successful first edition, Functional Plant Ecology, Second Edition continues to offer the latest findings and research breakthroughs in plant ecology and serves as an every point to further research. Extensively revised and updated, this book investigates plant structure and behavior across the ecological spectrum. It features new chapters on molecular ecology as well as the ecology and evolution of plant crowns. A concluding chapter addresses new approaches to generalization in functional plant ecology, including species-sampling issues, plant ecology strategy schemes, and phylogeny.
