Wytham woods: Oxford's ecological laboratory

This iconic location has been the subject of a series of continuous ecological research programmes dating back to the 1920s, which has provided a level of continuity that is extremely rare. For the first time, this book tells the Wytham story in a way that is accessible to both scientist and general reader alike. INDICE: J. Krebs: Preface; 1: C.M. Perrins: Introduction; 2: M.E.
