Persistence Strategies of Weeds will cover various aspects of how weeds persist in agroecosystems.
Topics covered will include seed banks and seed dormancy, seed predation and avoidance of same, effects of cropping systems on weed persistence, interactions with weeds and the soil microbiota, the influence of climate change on weed persistence, genetic aspects of persistence and weed evolution, weed and crop allelopathy, disturbance dynamics (e.g., shading vs. sun exposure) and weed persistence, resistance to herbicides, the results of modelling weed population dynamics, and the overall picture of weed evolution versus attempts by weed managers to prevent the pervasive impacts of weeds on agroecosystems and other related ecosystems.

This book will be a comprehensive source of information for weed scientists, weed mangers, and plant ecologists interested in the persistence of weeds.
