The Ecology Of Plants
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This textbook covers general ecology, but with the focus on the interactions between plants and their environment over a range of scales. It also emphasizes the importance of evolutionary and other historical processes for contemporary ecology. While the book is written for an undergraduate course in plant ecology, its style, coverage of the field, and contemporary perspective make it accessible and useful to others, from conservation biologists to evolutionary biologists.

I had to purchase this book for my Plant Ecology course. I found that the book was an interesting read (if you like the subject matter). My course followed the main topic from the chapters, but not directly. The book was a great supplement to the class and by reading it I really understood the concepts. We went more indepth in some topics in class and I wish that the book covered it, because it would have been best to read about it too. I think the authors did a great job writing it so that it was interesting.

This book is a good choice for anyone who is a beginning to an experienced Ecologist. With the content in this book you are able to retouch on some of the most common principles of plant ecology, while also reviewing the finer points in more advanced areas. This book is also serving as a great desk reference in my workplace. It would be beneficial for Ecologist, Environmentalist, or Natural Resources Specialist.

It came quickly and serves it's purpose.
