Editorial Reviews

"There is much food for thought for the conservationist ... clearly a major contribution for plant ecology in general as well as to the information concerning the vegetation of Wisconsin." —Audubon Magazine

"No ecologist concerned with the description of plant communities and assessment of their relationships with one another and with the environment can afford to ignore the lucid and penetrating discussion of these problems presented in Professor Curtis's stimulating text." —The Journal of Ecology
