For this second edition, Dr Silvertown has fully revised his highly successful Introduction to Plant Population Ecology to bring it completely up to date. During the five years since the publication of the first edition, the population approach to plant ecology has become the dominant theme of the subject, uniting ecological and evolutionary studies of plants. This book, ideal for students beginning their study of population ecology with no background in the subject, also deals with the latest developments in the technical areas of plant competition and the theory of coexistence. Emphasis throughout is on the principles of the subject, and the book is illustrated with examples from field studies and experiments in both temperate and tropical vegetation. It will be invaluable for students of ecology, as well as those who will eventually specialize in applied aspects of the subject such as forestry, agronomy horticulture and land management.
