Eucalypt ecology Book

Eucalypts make up a remarkable genus as the dominant trees of Australia. This authoritative volume provides current reviews by active researchers in many disciplines, including evolutionary history, genetics, distribution and modeling, the relationship of eucalypts to fire and nutrients, ecophysiology, pollination and reproductive ecology, interactions between eucalypts and other coexisting biota as well as conservation and management. Together these reviews explore the reasons for the great success of eucalypts in Australian environments, providing a comprehensive summary for comparison with the ecology of major woody plant genera in other continents.
