Grasslands, Systems Analysis and ManA. I. Breymeyer, George M. van Dyne Cambridge University Press, 20 mars 1980 - 950 pages This book was first published in 1980 and was a synthesis of much of the recent work on the functioning of grassland ecosystems at the time. It is concerned with the ways in which nutrients and energy are moved between the physical environment, plants and animals. |
