"This book is based on 'Diversité fonctionnelle des Plantes - Traits des Organismes, Structure des Communautés, Propriétés des Ecosystèmes' authored by Eric Garnier and Marie-Laure Navas, and published in 2013 by De Boeck. It has been substantially enriched compared to the French version, and some chapters have been extensively revised and completed"--Page vii.
