Description
Conifers--pine, fir, and spruce trees--are dominant species in forests around the world. This book focuses on the physiology of conifers
and how these physiological systems operate. Special consideration is devoted to the means by which ecophysiological processes influence
organismal function and distribution. Chapters focus on the genetics of conifers, their geographic distribution and the factors that
influence this distribution, the impact of insect herbivory on ecophysiological parameters, the effects of air pollution, and the potential
impact that global climatic changes will have upon conifers. Because of the growing realization that forests have a crucial role to play
in global environmental health, this book will appeal to a developing union of ecologists, physiologists and more theoretically minded
foresters.
Audience
Graduate students, faculty and researchers in ecology, forestry, plant sciences, physiology, and agronomy. Libraries at institutions with strong programs are also a significant audience.
