Theory and models in vegetation science Proceedings of Symposium, Uppsala, July 8–13, 1985
July 8 -13, 1985, an international group of scientists met in Uppsala for a symposium on the subject 'Theory and models in Vegetation science' . A volume of over 70 extended abstracts had already been published in time for the symposium (Leemans et at., 1985). That volume included contribu...
