| Résumé : |
Le site éditeur indique : Plants have evolved a remarkable array of adaptive solutions to the existential problem of survival and reproduction in a world where disturbances can be deadly, resources are scarce, and competition is cutthroat. Plants have inherited phenotypic traits that increased their chance of success, and these traits are indicators of strategies for establishment and survival. A plant strategy can be thought of as “how a species sustains a population” (Westoby, 1998, p. 214) because all successful strategies must have positive demographic outcomes in the habitats to which they are adapted. This book aims to articulate a coherent framework for studying plant strategies that unifies demography with functional ecology to advance prediction in plant ecology. Central to this framework are functional traits: the heritable morphological, physiological, and phenological attributes of plants that influence demography and therefore drive fitness differences among species. |
