Summary: Shows how pattern and structure at different levels of plant organization from ecophysiology through population dynamics to community structure and ecosystem function are influenced by abiotic factors such as climate and soils, and by biotic factors such as competition and herbivory. Combines descriptive text with theoretical models and experimental data.
