Seed fate : predation, dispersal, and seedling establishment
"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 mountains and arid deserts in the temperate zone, to savannas and lowland rainforests in tropical regions. 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 animal-plant relationships from the perspective of both primary and secondary seed dispersal and predation. It will be of significant interest to those working within the areas of seed science and plant and animal ecology."--Jacket
