Originally published in 1975 and in a second edition in 1980, Plant
Geography was the first text in biogeography that provided an
adequate treatment of modern plant population theory. It is an
introduction to the subject for students of both geography and
biology. The author develops a series of plant geographic concepts
that are based primarily in plant population biology, treating in
turn processes that operate at the level of the individual plant
and the plant population; interactions between plant populations;
environmental conditions and plant dissemination in shaping plant
species’ distributions, and the geography of vegetation. Emphasis
throughout is placed upon the dynamic nature of the earth’s plant
cover, and the interplay between contemporary conditions and
historical events in shaping plant distributions and evolution.
