Integrative Approach to Successional Dynamics Meiners Scott J.
Much of what is considered conventional wisdom about succession is not as clear cut as it is generally believed. Part monograph and part conceptual treatise, An Integrative Approach to Successional Dynamics presents a unifying conceptual framework for dynamic plant communities and uses a unique long-term data set to explore the utility of that framework. Yet, the importance of succession in ecology is undisputed since it offers a real insight into the dynamics and structure of all plant communities.
This unique text will be a great source of reference for researchers and graduate students in ecology and plant biology and others with an interest in the subject. The fourteen chapters, each written in a nontechnical style and accompanied by numerous illustrations and examples, cover diverse aspects of succession, including: community, population and disturbance dynamics, diversity, community assembly, heterogeneity, functional ecology and biological invasion.
