{"product_id":"heathlands-r-aerts-9789048142316","title":"Heathlands: Patterns and Processes in a Changing Environment","description":"Increased atmospheric nitrogen deposition and changes in the management of heathlands have caused a significant change in the species composition of the NW-European heathlands. This change from ericaceous towards gramineous dominance is analysed in detail in \u003cem\u003eHeathlands: \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ePatterns and Processes in a Changing Environment\u003c\/em\u003e. Special emphasis is put on the effects of increased atmospheric nutrient input on nutrient cycling, competition between plant species and plant--herbivore interactions. The possibilities for the long-term conservation of heathlands are discussed by considering regeneration from seed and the usefulness of mathematical management models.\u003cbr\u003e The book provides a synthesis of pure and applied plant ecology. It is vital reading for plant ecologists, biological conservationists, heathland managers and government decision makers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
