Functional Ecology of Woodlands and Forests
AvJ.R. Packham,D.J. Hardingm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 1992
2 202 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This work has evolved, by a process of updating and expansion, from "Ecology of Woodland Processes" by Packham and Harding (1982). It is based on the factors which govern the composition of woodland communities, but goes on to explore the dynamics of interactions between various ecosystem components. Topics of particular current interest include root productivity, competitive foraging by plants, patch dynamics and regeneration, the significance of so-called defensive compounds, population dynamics of forest insects, and a re-think of conventional ideas on nutrient cycling in tropical forests and on succession. World forest types are compared and there are two new chapters on working forests, contemporary problems and the future of forests. Observations and inferences are presented from worldwide research, with direct references to original papers. The text aims to assist readers to reach informed decisions about issues such as the greenhouse effect, acid precipitation, the greening of cities and agroforestry.

Ecology of Dunes, Salt Marsh and Shingle
AvJ.R. Packham,A.J. Willis
Inbunden, Engelska, 1997
1 653 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Life in coastal sand dunes, salt marshes and shingle banks presents a variety of challenges to their inhabitants. By describing the interactions of coastal organisms with the physical processes shaping the granular deposits within and on which they live, the authors illuminate many aspects of adaptation, population dynamics, community ecology, zonation and ecophysiology. A wide range of biological principles and geomorphological features are illustrated and there is lively discussion of the relevant aspects of applied biology, environmental threat and conservation management. Well-chosen examples and case studies have been drawn from coastal systems around the world, particularly those of the British Isles, continental Europe and North America.
