I’m looking for recommendations/suggestions of a general ecology book,
preferably with at least some plant examples to supplement lectures and field
in a
brief introductory ecology class for adults who are interested in and often
quite knowledgeable about (native) plants. Last time I taught introductory
ecology was literally decades ago when Ricklef’s “Economy of Nature” was a bit
less expensive and was the short, ‘simple' book available. Are there new ones
out there that people have experience with or know of?
Thanks.
Cheers,
