Edited Book Title:
Plant Ecology: Interactions in Ecosystems (Volume - 1)
About the Book
Plant Ecology: Interactions in Ecosystems explores the intricate relationships between plants and their environment, focusing on how plants interact with each other, animals and abiotic factors within ecosystems. The book covers key topics such as plant competition, mutualism, herbivory and pollination, and examines how these interactions influence plant distribution, abundance and community dynamics. It also explores the role of plants in ecosystem functions, including carbon cycling, nutrient cycling and habitat formation. By analyzing both plant-plant and plant-animal interactions, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the ecological roles that plants play in shaping ecosystems. It is an essential resource for students, researchers and professionals in ecology, environmental science and plant biology.Scope
This book provides an in-depth examination of plant ecology, focusing on the interactions between plants and their ecosystems. It covers the principles and processes underlying plant interactions with other organisms and environmental factors, as well as the role of plants in shaping ecosystems. The book integrates ecological theory with practical examples, offering a comprehensive understanding of how plants contribute to and are influenced by their ecological contexts. It is designed for students, researchers, and professionals in plant ecology, environmental science, and related fields.
