Plant evolutionary ecology is a rapidly growing discipline which emphasizes that populations adapt and evolve not in isolation, but in relation to other species and abiotic environmental features such as climate. Although it departs from traditional evolutionary and ecological fields of study, the field is connected to branches of ecology, genetics, botany, conservation, and to a number of other fields of applied science, primarily through shared concepts and techniques. However, most books regarding evolutionary ecology focus on animals, creating a substantial need for scholarly literature with an emphasis on plants.

Reviews for Approaches to Plant Evolutionary Ecology
Finding an introductory textbook that summarizes and synthesizes research on plant evolutionary ecology is challenging, as most volumes tend to specialize in either ecology or evolution, or pass over the extensive studies on plants. Approaches to Plant Evolutionary Ecology delivers an appealing, practical solution.
