' ... can be recommended to all research groups where botany or ecology is studied.' Zsuzanna Benko, Journal of Plant Physiology, 'Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current history of the understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent's plant cover ... a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels ... it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America and to the processes structuring that vegetation.' Ecology, "This second edition of perhaps the most definitive textbook of North American ecology will by turns inform, delight, challenge and rebuke readers of many interests. Primarily a didactic achievement of a high order of scholarship by a large number of expert contributors, this fascinating volume will reward the casual reader and the intensely focused student alike with insightful surveys of the thousands of habitats in which vegetation flourishes or struggles to survive." Chicago Botanic Garden, ' ... a mine of information that should be on the library shelves.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, "...this single treatise is an enlightening series of chapters... It goes well beyond the traditional overview of identification of dominant species and zonal synopses of the typical field guide or chapter in a textbook... each chapter stands alone as a useful primer to the patterns and process within a particular vegetation type... Any student of vegetation should read some of this volume, and it should be on the desk of any field researcher in North America." Charles V. Cogbill, Ecoscience, "Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent's plant cover...as a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America and to the processes structuring that vegetation." Ecology, '… a mine of information that should be on the library shelves.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, ‘Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current history of the understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent’s plant cover … a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels … it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America and to the processes structuring that vegetation.’Ecology, "Replete with photographs, diagrams, graphs and tables, each treatment ends with extensive reference sections. Students, researchers traveling to new regions, and many other professionals will welcome this book." Choice, ‘ … can be recommended to all research groups where botany or ecology is studied.’Zsuzanna Benko, Journal of Plant Physiology, '… can be recommended to all research groups where botany or ecology is studied.' Zsuzanna Benko, Journal of Plant Physiology, 'Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current history of the understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent's plant cover ... a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels ... it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America and to the processes structuring that vegetation.'Ecology, "...will be the standard reference on North American plant communities for quite some time" Bioscience, ' ... can be recommended to all research groups where botany or ecology is studied.'Zsuzanna Benko, Journal of Plant Physiology, ‘ … a mine of information that should be on the library shelves.’Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, 'Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current history of the understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent's plant cover … a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels … it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America and to the processes structuring that vegetation.'
