Colorado Desert Vegetation -- Epilogue -- Species Index -- General IndexThis thoroughly revised, entirely rewritten edition of what is the essential reference on California's diverse and ever-changing vegetation now brings readers the most authoritative, state-of-the-art view of California's plant ecosystems available. Integrating decades of research, leading community ecologists and field botanists describe and classify California's vegetation types, identify environmental factors that determine the distribution of vegetation types, analyze the role of disturbance regimes in vegetation dynamics, chronicle change due to human activities, identify conservation issues, describe restoration strategies, and prioritize directions for new research. Several new chapters address statewide issues such as the historic appearance and impact of introduced and invasive plants, the soils of California, and more.Plant ecologyCaliforniaPhytogeographyCaliforniabeach and dune.biology.botany.california channel islands.california conifer.california plants.classification of vegetation.climate change.coastal prairie.coastal scrub.conservation.ecology.environmentalism.flora of california.forests.future research.geology.landscape.mojave desert.native plans.natural science.nonnative plants.sage scrub.sierra nevada.soil.ultramafic vegetation.Plant ecologyPhytogeography581.9794RU 55489rvkBarbour Michael G63239Keeler-Wolf Todd1561215Schoenherr Allan A1561216MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778085103321Terrestrial vegetation of California3827741UNINA
