Elsevier's Dictionary of Terrestrial Plant Ecology English-Spanish and Spanish-English

In the field of ecology, there has been a surprising lack of adequate tools for making the abundant literature published in English linguistically available to the Spanish-speaking world, and vice versa. The present dictionary has been compiled in order to fill this gap. The intense cooperation of a professional translator and an ecologist has produced a work which combines thorough scientific treatment with pragmatical evaluation of needs. The user of this dictionary will find ample terminology on plant ecology and complementary sciences such as plant physiology, edaphology, biostatistics, environmental science, forestry, climatology, plant geography etc., both in English and in Spanish, with concise definitions or explanations, as well as corresponding or equivalent terms in the other language. This book is particularly valuable for investigators, teachers, students and translators of ecology, plant and environmental sciences, and useful for any person studying, defending or interested in the life conditions of land plants.
