Vegetation Ecology of Central Europe

Meer over het boek

The handbook provides a comprehensive examination of Central Europe's plant ecology, integrating 7,000 years of human impact across several countries. It consists of two volumes: Volume I focuses on forests and scrub vegetation, analyzing tree flora ecology, while Volume II covers non-forest types such as grasslands and urban vegetation. With extensive literature reviews and numerous figures, the work discusses climatic influences, community dynamics, and ecophysiology of key species, while addressing the effects of pollution, overuse, and climate change, along with conservation challenges.
