Wetland Plants

"An admirable work on a broad subject, with enough depth to be useful to academics as well as practitioners. The extensive literature citations will help those who need greater detail. The writing style is lucid, and the many tables, illustrations, and black-and-white photographs are useful and well reproduced."-G. D. Dreyer, Connecticut College, in CHOICE, Vol. 39, No. 08, April 2002Promo Copy

Klappentext
A detailed account of the biology and ecology of vascular wetland plants and their applications in wetland plant science, Wetland Plants: Biology and Ecology presents a synthesis of wetland plant studies and reviews from plant biology, plant physiology, evolution, genetics, community and population ecology, environmental science, and engineering. It contains up-to-date information for anyone planning research, writing grant proposals, or designing research protocols. Over 140 figures allow readers to visualize the concepts, and 40 tables give easy access to definitions and data. International examples provide a broad base of information.
