The book is a comprehensive study of the process of plant succession, which is the gradual and predictable change in plant communities over time. The book explores the factors that influence plant succession, including climate, soil, and disturbance, and examines the different stages of succession, from pioneer species to climax communities. Clements also discusses the role of plant competition and cooperation in the development of vegetation.The book is based on Clements' extensive research and observations of plant communities in various locations, including the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, and the Pacific Northwest. It includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex processes involved in plant succession.Overall, Plant Succession is a seminal work in the field of ecology and remains a valuable resource for researchers and students of plant ecology and environmental science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
