Plants at the Margin. Ecological Limits and Climate Change. 2008.illus. XIV, 478 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Margins are by their very nature environmentally unstable - doesi t therefore follow that plant populations adapted for life in such areas will prove to be pre - adapted to withstand the changes that may be brought about by a warmer world? Biogeography, demography,reproductive biology, physiology and genetics all provide cogent explanations as to why limits occur where they do. The purpose of thisbook is to bring together these different avenues of enquiry.
