Overview
This text describes how competition between plant species, and succession in plant ecosystems, operate in grasslands and grazed pastures, both natural and sown. The outcomes of competition and succession are important to agriculture and ecology. Competition and succession are both influenced by environmental and biological factors, and so they may be regulated to optimize botanical composition, productivity and persistence. The book also examines the ways in which competition and succession are analyzed, evaluated and measured.

Reviews
This book will be an outstanding reference for students and a stimulus for future studies by basic and applied pasture scientists.--David Lloyd
<br> Contributors from Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, the UK, and Canada describe how competition between plant species and succession in plant ecosystems operate in grasslands and grazed pastures. Chapters assess how competition affects botanical structure, productivity, and persistence of pastures and is itself regulated by biological, environmental, and management factors. Intended for graduate students and researchers in plant ecology, ecophysiology, and grassland and rangeland science. --SciTech Book News<p><br>
