Fire and Plants de William J. Bond

Fire and Plants: Population and Community Biology Series, cartea 14

Autor William J. Bond, B.W. van Wilgen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2011
Large regions of the world are regularly burnt either deliberately or naturally. However, despite the widespread occurrence of such fire-prone ecosystems, and considerable body of research on plant population biology in relation to fire, until now there have only been limited attempts at a coherent conceptual synthesis of the field for use by students or researchers.
