An introduction to plant fossils

Abstract

THE present work is a thoroughly revised form of my Practical Plant Ecology, which was originally published in 1923, new impressions being issued in 1926 and 1932. Not only has the text been brought up to date, but the balance of the book has been to some extent changed. The general exposition of the subject has been added to and strengthened, while those parts of the Appendix to Practical Plant Ecology dealing with soil analysis have been omitted, and the sections on Life Forms, on Methods of Vegetation Survey, and on Photography have been incorporated as chapters in the body of the book. In accordance with these changes the title has been altered to Introduction to Plant Ecology.
