Picture
Plant Ecology in a Changing World provides a basis for understanding how the changes underway impact structure and function in the world’s major biomes, while also describing how evolution has resulted in the adaptive features that shaped plants and their capacities to persist across widely contrasting environments. This textbook also recognizes the ecological importance of invasive, managed, and urban ecosystems and of the ways in which ecosystems are already being impacted by both human activities and a warming planet.
This textbook is designed for undergraduates and as a resource for climate change and ecosystem scientists seeking a foundation in plant ecology and adaptation.
