Ecology of plants/ [by] Jessica Gurevitch, Samuel M. Scheiner [by] Gordon A. Fox. - 2nd ed. - Massachusetts: Sinauer Associates, c2006. - xvii, 574 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), maps (col.) ; 29 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The text covers a range of topics that you might find in a general ecology textbook, but with the focus on the interactions between plants and their environment over a range of scales. Some of the subjects covered are unique to plants, such as photosynthesis and the ecology of plant-soil interactions; other topics, such as resource and mate acquisition, emphasize the distinctive ways plants (in contrast to mobile animals) deal with their environments. The book is unusual in emphasising the importance of evolutionary and other historical processes for current ecology.
