"This book covers topics in depth and is really outstanding; it
is also one of the best-written textbooks of any kind that I have
ever read. I've owned all four editions of this book, which has
undergone considerable evolution as co-authors have come and gone,
and it has always been very clear, concise, readable and full of
ideas." Professor Don Drake, University of Hawaii
"...the fourth edition...is still doing a good job of filling
its expanded niche as a concise and engaging up-to-date
introduction to plant population ecology and evolution written by
two knowledgeable leaders in the field" D. Lawrence Venable,
University of Arizona, American Journal of Botany 90 (1)
2003.
Reviews of the Third Edition:
"In upgrading this text, Silvertown and Lovett Doust have performed an important service for plant population biologists, plant ecologists, and others needing an introduction to this fast-growing field. the only book available to accompany an upper-level or beginning graduate course in plant population biology, and it fits in niche well. Plant ecologists are likely to find this book useful as a reference." Review from previous edition, BioScience 1995 <!--end-->
"Plant population biology is both desperately important and
subtly complex, forming the basis for much ecological work, and the
authors are to be congratulated in managing to cram an enormous
amount of detail into this wide-ranging text, [...] The use of
contemporary examples helps to give the book a fresh and urgent
appeal. It should be useful reading for undergraduates whose
courses have a plant ecology component, but will also provide a
very succinct introduction for postgraduates moving into this
field."
Roger Delpech, Journal of Biological Education, 2002,

"The clarity of text, plentiful examples and extensive literature survey make this book indispensable for all students of population biology." Folia Geobotanica, 2002, (37)
