Keddy draws on extensive teaching experience to bring the field to life, guiding students through essential concepts with numerous real-world examples and full-colour illustrations throughout. The chapters begin by presenting the wider picture of the origin of plants and their impact on the Earth, before exploring the search for global patterns in plants and vegetation. Chapters on resources, stress, competition, herbivory, and mutualism explore causation, and a concluding chapter on conservation addresses the concern that one-third of all plant species are at risk of extinction. The scope of this edition is broadened further by a new chapter on population ecology, along with extensive examples including South African deserts, the Guyana Highlands of South America, Himalayan forests and arctic alpine environments.

Plants and vegetation: origins, processes, consequences / Keddy, P.A. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Plants and vegetation: origins, processes, consequences Type de document : livre Auteurs : Keddy, P.A., Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 683 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-86480-0 Note générale : Voir aussi la 2ème édition de 2017 à la cote 69527/16 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Competition  Diversity  Herbivory  Nature conservation  Plant ecology  Resource conservation  Stress Résumé : Plants make up 99.9 percent of the world''s living matter, provide food and shelter, and control the Earth''s climate. The study of plant ecology is therefore essential to understanding the biological functions and processes of the biosphere. This vibrant new introductory textbook integrates important classical themes with recent ideas, models and data. The book begins with the origin of plants and their role in creating the biosphere as the context for discussing plant functional types and evolutionary patterns. The coverage continues logically through the exploration of causation with chapters, amongst others, on resources, stress, competition, herbivory, and mutualism. The book concludes with a chapter on conservation, addressing the concern that as many as one-third of all plant species are at risk of extinction. Each chapter is enriched with striking and unusual examples of plants (e.g., stone plants, carnivorous plants) and plant habitats (e.g., isolated tropical tepui, arctic cliffs). Paul Keddy's lively and thought-provoking style will appeal to students at all levels.
