Provides a succinct description of the processes which control vegetation structure and composition. Identifies major adaptive strategies and analyzes their role in processes which control the structure, dynamics, and species composition of vegetation. Systematically applies the concept of strategies to a wide range of plants, employing criteria related to life histories and physiology, and presenting a considerable amount of unpublished data on regenerative strategies. Discusses some practical implications of the phenomena described and explores ecological and evolutionary parallels between plants and animals.
