Succession, the tendency of plant communities to change through time, presents a challenge to those who must satisfy goals established for the use and preservation of natural resources. The practical application of what is known about successional changes has not advanced quickly; subsequently plant community management is often carried out without recourse to the latest scientific data.

This is a very good book for land managers. It places management within an ecological framework and does a nice job of presenting succession in an understandable way. All to often manager's attempts to re-create a former vegetative state "fail" because they do not account for the ecological succession that must take place. I do wish Dr. Luken would issue a revised edition to incorporate new information gained over the past 15 years and to bring the price to an affordable level that managers might begin to use this as a reference book.
