About this book

Plant community management is often carried out without applying what is known about succession - the tendency of plant communities to change through time.
This text outlines a general model of successional management and then applies it to a variety of management techniques, examining their long-term effects on community development. A useful, practical book for those involved in the management of natural resources, and for theoretical ecologists.

Contents

Succession management - an introduction; obtaining information on succession; plant populations - growth, decline and persistence during succession; methods of managing succession - plant and plant part removal; methods of managing succession - changing resource availability; methods of managing succession - changing propagule availability; animals and succession; ecological succession - changes due to animal activities; a landscape perspective; information systems for prediction and decision-making.
