Wytham Woods: Oxford's Ecological Laboratory

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: United Kingdom; Oxford University Press; 02 Jun 2011Description: 288 Pages; PaperbackISBN:
  • 9780199605187
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 577.30
Summary: For the first time, this book tells the Wytham story in a way that is accessible to both scientist and general reader alike. It provides a fascinating overview of what the Woods are like, their history, composition (both plant and animal), and how their wildlife has changed over time. This iconic location has been the subject of a series of continuous ecological research programmes dating back to the 1920s, a level of continuity of research effort that is extremely rare. Hence there is a strong emphasis on the significance of the scientific research that has been done there and how this has contributed to ecological thinking elsewhere.
