From the reviews of the German edition: "No other work is as compact and comprehensive in comparison. … nobody dealing with plant ecology in any form can afford to pass by this book." Entomologia Generalis "The book is carefully structured and well written, and thus even complex issues as the self-thinning rule are elegantly presented and easily understandable. The register is extensive and represents certainly a useful selection of the most important key words. ... I recommend this book to advanced students, university teachers and other researchers in (plant) ecology, it is also inspiring reading for high school teachers." Phytocoenologiaweiterlesen
