Plant functional diversity: organism traits, community structure, and ecosystem properties / Eric Garnier (2016)  

Public ISBD Titre : Plant functional diversity: organism traits, community structure, and ecosystem properties Type de document : livre Auteurs : Eric Garnier, Auteur ; Marie-Laure Navas, Auteur ; Karl Grigulis, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 231 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-875737-5 Prix : 37.50 GBP Note générale : Voir aussi la 1ère édition originale de 2013 en français à la cote 69220/16 (Diversité fonctionnelle des plantes : traits des organismes, structure des communautés, propriété des écosystèmes, Ed. De Boeck) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant communities  Biodiversity  Plant ecology  Plant response  Plant structure Résumé : Biological diversity, the variety of living organisms on Earth, is traditionally viewed as the diversity of taxa, and species in particular. However, other facets of diversity also need to be considered for a comprehensive understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. This novel book demonstrates the advantages of adopting a functional approach to diversity in order to improve our understanding of the functioning of ecological systems and their components. The focus is on plants, which are major components of these systems, and for which the functional approach has led to major scientific advances over the last 20 years. Plant Functional Diversity presents the rationale for a trait-based approach to functional diversity in the context of comparative plant ecology and agroecology. It demonstrates how this approach can be used to address a number of highly debated questions in plant ecology pertaining to plant responses to their environment, controls on plant community structure, ecosystem properties, and the services these deliver to human societies. This research level text will be of particular relevance and use to graduate students and professional researchers in plant ecology, agricultural sciences and conservation biology.

Induced responses to herbivory / Karban, R. ; Baldwin, I.T. (1997)  

Public ISBD Titre : Induced responses to herbivory Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karban, R. ; Baldwin, I.T. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Interspecific interactions Importance : 319 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-42496-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 29/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology  Herbivores  Induced resistance  Plant animal relations  Plant response  Resistance to injurious factors Résumé : Plants face a daunting array of creatures that eat them, bore into them, and otherwise use virtually every plant part for food, shelter, or both. But although plants cannot flee from their attackers, they are far from defenseless. In addition to adaptations like thorns, which may be produced in response to attack, plants actively alter their chemistry and physiology in response to damage. For instance, young potato plant leaves being eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals that inhibit beetle digestive enzymes. Over the past fifteen years, research on these induced responses to herbivory has flourished, and here Richard Karban and Ian T. Baldwin present the first comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of this rapidly developing field. They provide state-of-the-discipline reviews and highlight areas where new research will be most productive. Their comprehensive overview will be welcomed by a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology, and agriculture.
