Special offer. Publisher's price is approx. 93.00 EUR -The author's intention is to present some selected problems related tovegation and plant population dynamics, based on research carried onfor many years in the Bialowieza Primeval Forest. In some cases, theseare linked with parallel investigations performed in other natural environments of North-Eastern Poland. According to the character of the object, the book mainly contains information concerning forest vegetation and species of plants of forest origin. The book shows notonly the "physiognomy and life of the Bialowieza Forest vegetation"but demonstates how this residual fragment of European primeval forestsmay serve for elucidation of general ecological regularities. The book describes successively the factors conditioning the earlier traced picture of the Bialowieza Forest vegetation and other factorsresponsible for the differentiation, stability, behaviour and change of the forest communities.
