Binding tight, clean and fresh externally as well as internally. Pp. [Vol. 250:] 26-31. [Entire volume: 870, [2), 804 pp.]. First edition of Grime's seminal paper in which the CSR Triangle theory is presented. The theory is widely regarded as being one of the most influential theories in explaining ecological growth- and survival strategies.

The theory was presented in the context of plants but has been widely accepted in animal ecology as well. In 1979 Grimes expanded and elaborated his theory in the book "Plant Strategies and Vegetation Processes". …
