Více o knize

Weeds act as nature's first responders, rapidly colonizing areas affected by disasters like fires and floods. They play a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and facilitating recovery after events such as landslides. Beyond their protective functions, weeds also support wildlife and offer food and medicinal benefits to humans. As global warming intensifies, these resilient plants are expected to thrive while other species decline. The book defines weeds based on their ecological roles and highlights various species from desert environments to showcase their diverse characteristics.
