Ecological Communities and Processes in a Mojave Desert Ecosystem

'… important and occasionally quite unexpected conclusions add to the interest and value of this fine volume.' J. L. Cloudsley-Thompson, Journal of Arid Environments 'Naturalists, desert ecologists and teachers will find this book useful.' Tree '… a successful book on the existing level of knowledge of the desert ecosystem of Rock Valley and the Mojave Desert.' W. Frey, Botanishche Jahrbucher '… will serve as an outstanding source book … With luck this work will inspire others to produce similar syntheses for other IBP validation sites.' Steve P. McLaughlin, Progress in Physical Geography 'I happily recommend this book to all who are interested in whole organism biology. It is a source book of ideas, as well as an exemplary account of one special area of great interest: an unexpected product of the Cold War. Out of the strong has come forth sweetness.' A. D. Q. Agnew, Annals of Botany
