Synergistic action of various factors may better explain plant \ngrowth and distribution in natural systems. The book emphasizes the role \nof allelochemicals in shaping the structure of plant communities in a \nbroader ecological perspective. \nThe book addresses the following questions: (1) How do allelochemicals \ninfluence different components of the ecosystem in terms of shaping \ncommunity structure? (2) Why is it difficult to demonstrate interference \nby allelochemicals (i.e., allelopathy) in a natural system in its \nentirety? Despite a large amount of existing literature on allelopathy, \nwhy are ecologists still skeptical about the existence of allelopathy in \nnature? (3) Why are there only scarce data on aquatic ecosystems? (4) \nWhat role do allelochemicals play in microbial ecology?.....\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783034894395\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783034894395\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-0348-8109-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341381333132,"sku":"9783034894395","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783034894395.jpg?v=1755043987","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783034894395","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
