About the Book
In The Hidden Structure of Vegetation, J. Bastow Wilson takes a deeper dive into the complexities of plant communities. While most of us can easily identify a forest, grassland, or wetland, Wilson challenges us to look beyond these labels and explore the hidden structures within these ecosystems. The book delves into key questions like:
-
How do species persist over time within a community?
-
What prevents the most dominant species from taking over?
-
Are there underlying rules that bring about stability and repeatable patterns in plant communities?
These questions lie at the heart of community ecology and are critical for the management of the world's ecosystems, many of which are facing environmental threats.
By synthesizing the existing knowledge of species interactions and community assembly, the book provides not only a comprehensive review but also introduces fresh perspectives that encourage ecologists to think differently about plant communities and the forces that shape them.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the ecology of plant communities and the management of natural ecosystems.
