Summary

Meadows cover almost a quarter of the globe's land surface, in which grasses dominate. Apart from their general importance in the herbaceous ecosystems, the individuals in this botanic family have a special growth habit.

This summary, the first in over thirty years, is original through its emphasis on vegetative development and common rules, putting forward a great deal of acquired knowledge. As the presentation unfolds, we discover that here are played out the structure and renewal of perennial plants subject to soil and seasonal constraints and regularly stripped of their leaves by animals or harvesting implements. The vegetative morphogenesis of grasses is the feature which makes them clearly stand out from other herbaceous groups. And it is without doubt here that we need to look for the main reason for their ecological success.

The book describes the generic traits of organ form and architecture of grasses, their individual formation and renewal, the rhythms governing them and their environmental constraints, then the consequences of these phenomena on the dynamics of colonies of individuals making up a perennial vegetation.
