Environmental Physiology of Plants

Key Features * Includes enhanced illustrations, now with color plates * Examines new molecular approaches which can be harnessed to solve problems in physiology * Features new topics such as the unified treatment of toxicity, an explicit treatment of the issues relating to global change, and a section on the role of fire

Features a unified treatment of toxicity and places emphasis on the common features of plant response to ionic, gaseous, and other toxins. This book presents a treatment of issues relating to global change, and talk about the role of fire in plant physiology. It examines molecular approaches which can be harnessed to solve problems in physiology.This is the third edition of an established and successful university textbook. The original structure and philosophy of the book continue in this new edition, providing a genuine synthesis of modern ecological and physiological thinking, while entirely updating the detailed content. New features include a fresh, unified treatment of toxicity, emphasizing common features of plant response to ionic, gaseous, and other toxins, explicit treatment of issues relating to global change, and a section on the role of fire in plant physiology and communities. The illustrations in the text are improved over previous editions, including color plates for the first time, and the authors' continuing commitment to providing wide citation of the relevant literature has further improved the reference list. This revision of Environmental Physiology of Plants will ensure the reputation of this title as a useful and relevant text well into the 21st century.
