Recenzii
Most appealing aspects of the revision plan: The addition of a chapter on global biodiversity patterns, further details to help students grapple with the quantitative nature of population ecology, and the addition of more theoretical work...Seems like a good match [for my course]...The mixture of field based, theoretical and physiological coverage makes this a real draw for aplant ecology course.
The Ecology of Plants is comprehensive, offers a good diversity of viewpoints, and has good images...does a good job of covering the breadth of the field, and also has a lot of detail. It is readable, and provides students with a good reference to the topic of plant ecology. Most appealing aspect of the revision plan: The first point
I used this textbook (2nd edition) asagrad student and now use it as a teaching professor. Overall it is excellent and sorely in need of a new edition. Chapters on competition, disturbance and succession, herbivory and landscape ecology were particularly use I for my course....I like the "stand alone chapter" approach (with link and cross references to other chapters if needed!) the authors articulate. In the 2nd edition I had to spread readings out across multiple chapters. Students didn't like this. Also, I really want to see more aspects of climate change more thoroughly and explicitly referred to in the text; it looks like the authors will do this for the 3rd edition. I'm also intrigued by the reference to updated pollination ecology material aswell as updates on measuring biodiversity. Nothing in the revision plan turns meoff... I have been wanting arevrsed edition for years now.
