The Ecology of Regeneration in Plant Communities highlights the many advances in the field of seed ecology and its relationship to plant community dynamics that have taken place in recent years. The new edition also features chapters on seed development and morphology, seed chemical ecology, implications of climate change on regeneration by seed, and the functional role of seed banks in agricultural and natural ecosystems. The book is aimed at advanced level students and researchers in the fields of seed science, seed ecology and plant ecology. The completion of plants life cycle and regeneration of plant population depends on the process of reproduction. Yet there is great difference between higher plants species reproduction. Research into plant reproduction from seed continues to provide a wide range of opportunities for investigating fundamental aspects of ecology.
