Review of the 2nd edition:

"Fenner (biological sciences, U. of Southampton, UK) notes that one of the joys of seed ecology is that much research in the field can still be carried out without sophisticated technology or techniques. Four new chapters expand coverage of the 1992 text on plant reproductive ecology to include advances in understanding the evolutionary ecology of seed size, seedling establishment, and the roles of fire and gaps in regeneration. The 16 chapters by international experts also cover such topics as maternal effects on seeds during development, the role of temperature in regulation of seed dormancy and germination, and the contribution of seedling regeneration to the structure and dynamics of plant communities and ecosystems. Suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students."
