John L Harper Virtual Issue
Professor John L Harper was a formidable plant ecologist and teacher who revolutionized our discipline and had a huge impact on its development as a modern science. He inspired generations of young researchers and will be remembered with great affection and gratitude by plant ecologists throughout the world.
