Interactions between animals, plant species and vegetation

PHYTOCOENOLOGIA presents here a selection of contributions from the 44th IAVS Congress in Freising-Weihenstephan, from July 29 to August 4, 2001. The main topic of this meeting was „Vegetation and Ecosystem Functions“, including sections dealing with interactions between animals, plant species and vegetation. This research area incorporates a broad range of different approaches (methodological, theoretical, experimental and applied) and an enormous diversity of animal species and their interactions with plant species and vegetation.
