Ferns are an integral part of the world's flora, appreciated for
their beauty as ornamentals, problematic as invaders and endangered
by human interference. They often dominate forest understories but
also colonize open areas, invade waterways and survive in
nutrient-poor wastelands and eroded pastures. Presented here is the
first comprehensive summary of fern ecology, with worldwide
examples from Siberia to the islands of Hawaii. Topics include a
brief history of the ecological study of ferns, a global survey of
fern biogeography, fern population dynamics, the role of ferns in
ecosystem nutrient cycles, their adaptations to xeric environments
and future directions in fern ecology. Fully illustrated concepts
and processes provide a framework for future research and
utilization of ferns for graduate students and professionals in
ecology, conservation and land management.
