Sommario/riassunto |
|
Root feeders have been classified as agricultural pests but can be used as biological control agents against invasive species and can affect community dynamics of plants, soil micro-organisms and populations of above ground organisms. This book presents a review of knowledge on root herbivores and illustrates their importance within ecosystems. |
