This completely updated and revised second edition provides a unique
and up-to-date treatment of all aspects of plant ecology, making it an
ideal textbook and reference work for students, researchers and
practitioners. More than 500 high-quality images and drawings, mostly
in colour, aid readers’ understanding of various key topics, while
the clear structure and straightforward style make it user friendly
and particularly useful for students. Written by leading experts, it
offers authoritative information, including relevant references. While
Plant Ecology primarily addresses graduate students in biology and
ecology, it is also a valuable resource for post-graduate students and
researchers in botany, environmental sciences and landscape ecology,
as well as all those whose study or work touches on agriculture,
forestry, land use, and landscape management. Key Topics: - Molecular
ecophysiology (molecular stress physiology: light, temperature, oxygen
deficiency, water deficit (drought), unfavorable soil mineral
conditions, biotic stress) - Physiological and biophysical plant
ecology (ecophysiology of plants: thermal balance, water, nutrient,
carbon relations) - Ecosystem ecology (characteristics of ecosystems,
approaches how to study and how to model terrestrial ecosystems,
biogeochemical fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems) - Community ecology
and biological diversity (development of plant communities in time and
space, interactions between plants and plant communities with the
abiotic and the biotic environment, biodiversity and ecosystem
functioning) - Global ecology (global biogeochemical cycles, Dynamic
Global Vegetation Models, global change and terrestrial ecosystems)
