Klappentext This volume brings together different 'schools' of ecological investigation of woodlands. Zusammenfassung This volume brings together different 'schools' of ecological investigation of woodlands. After a description of the structure and floristic composition of the research sites! involving a comparison of boreal! temperate! Mediterranean and tropical forest! the study goes on to consider the dynamic aspects of the woodland formation. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface J. B. Cragg; Foreword D. E. Reichle; 1.
