It includes the main areas of current research including ideas about plant populations, nutrition and plant community ecology and has a particular emphasis on the interactions of plants with animals, fungi and microorganisms whose important is being increasingly demonstrated. With the world's environmental problems having such a high profile, the book focusses on the human impact on the world's plant species. Conservation of the terrestrial world starts with plants as they form the basis of all ecosystems on land. We can only understand how best to conserve the world's biodiversity with an understanding of the central role of plant ecology. This theme runs throughout with numerous examples of the disruption of ecosystems by human activity emphasising the connection between plant ecology and conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBoxes present case studies, important statistics and interesting asides\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull-colour photos depict key species and habitats and superb line drawings illustrate many concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImportant data are presented in Tables and Figures throughout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter has Key Concepts and review questions to test a reader's grasp of the content\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey References and Further Reading are given for each chapter to point the reader towards the most important and influential literature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJargon is kept to a minimum and a full Glossary of all technical terms is presented\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students in any aspect of ecology or plant science.
