Produktbeschreibung

This volume contains most of the contributions presented at the Symposium on Vegetation dynamics in grasslands, heathlands, and mediterranean ligneous formations, which took place at the Centre d'Etudes Phytosociologiques et Ecologiques 'Louis Emberger' (locally organized by the Department of General Ecology and the Directory Staff of this institute) at Montpellier. It was organized by the Working Group for Succession research on permanent plots, and the Working Group for Data-processing in phytosociology, both of the International Society for Vegetation Science. The editors of this volume represent both working groups and the organizing institute. They acknowledge the considerable material assistance provided by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Direction des relations exterieures de l'information, and Programme lnterdisciplinaire de Recherche sur I'Environnement (PIREN); the Conseil general de I'Herault; and the Ministere de I'Environnement et du Cadre de Vie. The Symposium was opened by Prof. M. Godron. The many lectures and poster contributions were organized around five themes. A complete list is added to this volume (Appendix). Abstracts of these contributions were sent in prior to the Symposium and collected by the CEPE in a volume 'Actes du Symposium sur Dynamique de la Vegetation dans les formations herbacees, les landes et les formations mediterraneennes ligneuses'. The 27 ela borated papers accepted for this volume are presented in roughly the same sequence.
