Beschreibung:
Presenting the rationale for a trait-based approach to functional diversity in the context of comparative plant ecology and agroecology, this book shows how this approach can be used to address many questions in plant ecology pertaining to plant responses to their environment, controls on plant community structure, ecosystem properties, and the services these deliver to human societies. This research level text will be of particular relevance and use to graduate students and professional researchers in plant ecology, agricultural sciences and conservation biology.
