Most people can readily identify a forest, or a grassland, or a
wetland - these are the simple labels we give different plant
communities. The aim of this book is to move beyond these simple
descriptions to investigate the 'hidden' structure of vegetation,
asking questions such as how do species in a community persist over
time? What prevents the strongest species from taking over? And,
are there rules that confer stability and produce repeatable
patterns? Answers to these questions are fundamental to community
ecology, and for the successful management of the world's varied
ecosystems, many of which are currently under threat. In addition
to reviewing and synthesising our current knowledge of species
interactions and community assembly, this book also seeks to offer
a different viewpoint - to challenge the reader, and to stimulate
ecologists to think differently about plant communities and the
processes that shape them.
