Description: Vegetation of Egypt constitutes an extremely important landmark in studies of vegetation of arid and mediterranean-type regions and as such should become a major reference source for many years to come. It will be of interest to students and professionals in plant science, ecology, biogeography, climatology and economic botany.
Description: Interactions between plants and animals are incredibly diverse and complex and span terrestrial, atmospheric and aquatic environments. The last decade has seen the emergence of a vast quantity of data on the subject and there is now a perceived need among both teachers and undergraduate students for a new textbook that incorporates the numerous recent advances made in the field. The book is intended for use by advanced level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, taking related courses in wider ecology degree programmes.
Very few books cover this subject and those that do are out of date.
Description: 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.
