Description
This book focuses on the interactive effects of environmental stresses with plant and ecosystem functions, especially with respect to changes in the abundance of carbon dioxide. The interaction of stresses with elevated carbon dioxide are presented from the cellular through whole plant ecosystem level. The book carefully considers not only the responses of the above-ground portion of the plant, but also emphasizes the critical role of below-ground (rhizosphere) components (e.g., roots, microbes, soil) in determining the nature and magnitude of these interactions.

Included in series
Physiological Ecology

Audience:
Graduate students, faculty, and researchers in ecology, plant ecophysiology, molecular biology, stress physiology, modeling, global change, earth science, and biogeochemistry.
