Collection of essays investigating plant structure and behavior across the ecological spectrum. Contributors feature the ecology and evolution of plant crowns and address approaches to generalization in functional plant ecology, including the species-sampling problem, plant ecology strategy schemes, and phylogeny. The book follows a bottom-up approach, from the more specific, detailed studies focusing on plant organs to the broadest ecosystem approaches.
