![Seed Fate : Predation, Dispersal, and Seedling Establishment / Edited by Pierre-Michel Forget ... [Et Al.]](/jacket/500x500/9780851998060.jpg)
Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents current knowledge of seed fate in both natural and human-disturbed landscapes, from various regions of the world. Habitats considered range from mountain and arid deserts in the temperate zone, to savanna and lowland rainforests in tropical regions of the world. Particular attention is paid to plant diversity conservation when seed removal is affected by factors such as hunting, habitat fragmentation or intensive logging. Contributors include leading scientists involved in research on seed ecology and on animal-plant relationships from the perspective of both primary and secondary seed dispersal, and predation.
