Since the first edition of this book published in 2005, there has
been an immense amount of new and fascinating work on the history,
ecology, and evolution of the Mediterranean flora. During this
time, human impacts have continued to increase dramatically,
significantly influencing both the ecology and evolution of the
region's biota. This timely and comprehensive update of the
original text integrates a diverse and scattered literature to
produce a synthetic account of Mediterranean plant evolutionary
ecology. It maintains the accessible style of its previous version
whilst incorporating recent work in a new structural framework.
This is not a traditional "plant science" book per se, but a novel
integration of history, ecology, biogeography, and evolution, all
set in the context of a dramatically increasing human footprint.
There is a particular emphasis on the role of human activities as
an ecological factor and their subsequent impact on plant
evolution. Conversely, it demonstrates how an understanding of the
evolutionary ecology of the region's flora can be used to provide
insights into its future conservation and management. Plant
Evolution in the Mediterranean is aimed at all those who are
interested in the biology of the Mediterranean region, whether it
is taxonomy, ecology, evolution, conservation policy and
management, or the regional history of its biodiversity in general.
It will be of relevance and use to all graduate students and
researchers of Mediterranean-type ecosystem ecology and geography,
as well as professional ecologists, evolutionary biologists,
conservation biologists, and environmental practitioners requiring
a concise, authoritative overview of the topic.
