In this book, plant biology is considered from the perspective of
plants and their surrounding environment, including both biotic and
abiotic interactions. The intended audience is undergraduate
students in the middle or final phases of their programs of study.
Topics are developed to provide a rudimentary understanding of how
plant-environment interactions span multiple spatiotemporal scales,
and how this rudimentary knowledge can be applied to understand the
causes of ecosystem vulnerabilities in the face of global climate
change and expansion of natural resource use by human societies. In
all chapters connections are made from smaller to larger scales of
ecological organization, providing a foundation for understanding
plant ecology. Where relevant, environmental threats to ecological
systems are identified and future research needs are discussed. As
future generations take on the responsibility for managing
ecosystem goods and services, one of the most effective resources
that can be passed on is accumulated knowledge of how organisms,
populations, species, communities and ecosystems function and
interact across scales of organization. This book is intended to
provide some of that knowledge, and hopefully provide those
generations with the ability to avoid some of the catastrophic
environmental mistakes that prior generations have made.
