Plant Succession
'Succession' is the term used to describe the phenomenon of changes in vegetational types in both time and space. The subject of the colonization and exploitation of 'new' areas by plants is a key one in ecology and this book summarizes the theoretical arguments currently raging about the topic.

Forest Succession
Succession-nothing in plant, community, or ecosystem ecology has been so elaborated by terminology, so much reviewed, and yet so much the center of controversy. In a general sense, every ecologist uses the concept in teaching and research, but no two ecologists seem to have a unified concept of the details of succession. The word was used by Thoreau to describe, from a naturalist's point of view, the general changes observed during the transition of an old field to a forest. As data accumulated, a lengthy taxonomy of succession developed around early twentieth century ecologists such as Cooper, Clements, and Gleason. Now, nearer the end of the century, and after much discussion concerning th...
Directing Ecological Succession
Succession, the tendency of plant communities to change through time, presents a challenge to those who must satisfy goals established for the use and preservation of natural resources. The practical application of what is known about successional changes has not advanced quickly; subsequently plant community management is often carried out without recourse to the latest scientific data.
Comparative Plant Succession Among Terrestrial Biomes of the World
Provides a comparative approach to plant succession among all terrestrial biomes and disturbances, helping to reveal generalizable patterns.
Plant Succession
Excerpt from Plant Succession: An Analysis of the Development of Vegetation The present book constitutes the general part of a monograph on Rocky Mountain vegetation which has been under way since 1899. It is hoped that another volume dealing with the details of the development and structure of the climax formations of the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, and Great Basin may appear subsequently. The general principles advanced here are an outgrowth of the treatment in the "Development and Structure of Vegetation" (1904) and "Research Methods in Ecology" (1905), in which an endeavor to organize the whole field of present-day succession was made for the first time. The studies of the past decade...
