diversity, biotic interactions and distribution of plant
communities, with an emphasis on functional adaptations;
* reviews modern developments in vegetation ecology in a
historical perspective;
* presents a coherent view on vegetation ecology while
integrating population ecology, dispersal biology, soil
biology,
* ecosystem ecology and global change studies;
* tackles applied aspects of vegetation ecology, including
management of communities and invasive species;
