Overview
Wild plant communities are the driving force behind life on Earth. By capturing solar energy, they sustain the immense diversity of life and shape the environmental conditions on which all organisms depend. Yet many ecological studies fail to integrate population and ecosystem processes, leaving our understanding of long-term vegetation dynamics incomplete.
In this book, Frank Berendse presents a unifying ecological theory that connects plants, soils, herbivores, pathogens, and ecosystem processes within a single framework. Drawing on decades of theoretical and experimental research, he reveals how plant-soil interactions shape ecosystems across landscapes and through time, from heathlands and forests to the evolutionary rise of flowering plants that transformed life on Earth.
