Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Weeds function as nature's first responders, rapidly colonizing areas affected by disasters like fires and floods. They play a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and facilitating recovery after events such as landslides. By providing food for wildlife and medicinal resources for humans, weeds demonstrate their ecological importance. As global warming and human impacts escalate, these resilient plants are expected to thrive while other species decline. The book offers a clear definition of weeds and highlights various species from a desert ecosystem to showcase their diverse roles in environmental processes.
