Plant Ecology
Shows how pattern and structure at different levels of plant organisation are influenced by abiotic factors such as climate and soils and by biotic factors such as competition and herbivory. Adopting a dynamic approach, the text relies on experimental data rather than purely descriptive text. New aspects of this edition: more consideration of plant secondary chemistry, interspecific competition, succession, sex and breeding systems, plant diversity and the effects of pollution.
