Plant Succession

"Succession" is the term used to describe the phenomenon of changes in vegetational types in both time and space. The subject of the colonization and exploitation of "new" areas by plants is a key one in ecology and this book summarizes the theoretical arguments currently raging about the topic. With an emphasis on theory, this book has been written by an international team of recognized experts in the area and is an addition to the debate. This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduate and researchers/university teachers in ecology, population biology, botany, landscape design/architecture and natural resource management.
