In diesem Band der Speziellen Ökologie stellt Hermann Remmert seine über Jahrzehnte auf Reisen durch alle Kontinente zusammengetragenen und überprüften Ideen und Hypothesen zu terrestrischen Ökosystemen vor. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Pflanzen und Tieren unter dem Einfluss von Klima und Geologie in verschiedenen Ökosystemen wie Regenwald, Nadel- und Laubwäldern, Steppen, Tundren, Auen und Kulturlandschaften. Anhand vieler Beispiele rekonstruiert Remmert, wie diese Lebensräume vor unserer Zivilisation strukturiert waren. Mit dieser anschaulichen...

A large number of comprehensive publications has been devoted to the Antarctic, to its plant and animal life. It is therefore relatively easy to familiarize oneself with the current state of Antarctic research. Nothing comparable is available for the Arctic. The heterogeneity and richness of the northern polar regions seem to have discouraged any attempt at a synthethic approach. This book has evolved from an attempt to summarize the results of 15 years of ecological and physiological research work in the Arctic - mostly on Spitsbergen. The necessity of comparing our results and the...

The wealth of the natural sciences no longer consists in the abundance of facts, but in the way they are linked together. ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT There is no dearth of books on ecology. Why write yet another? Each person is different, and each views the problems in a different way. Each emphasizes different aspects and describes them in a different style. When I was a student I often found certain books more helpful than others, and I still think it is useful to have a variety of presentations from which to choose. This variety also allows the student to appreciate the diversity within the...
