About this book

This volume provides an overview of recent advances in forest ecology on a variety of topics, including species diversity and the factors that control species diversity, environmental factors controlling distribution of forests, impacts of disturbances on forests (fires, drought, hurricane), reproduction ecology of both trees and understory species, and spatial organization of forests. Previously published in Plant Ecology, Volume 201, No.1, 2009.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The target group for which the book is published is possibly academic libraries which may prefer a bound hardcover book ‘Forest Ecology’ to single issues of Plant Ecology.” (Eberhard F. Bruenig, International Forestry Review, Vol. 11 (4), 2009)
