Description
Coniferous forests are among the most important of ecosystems. These forests are widespread and influence both the financial and biological
health of our globe. This book focuses attention on conifers and how these trees acquire, allocate, and utilize the resources that sustain
this crucial productivity. An international team of experts has surveyed and synthesized information from an expanding area of inquiry.
The first half of the book describes how resources are acquired both by means of photosynthesis and through root systems. The latter
half of the volume focuses upon how resources are stored and used. As conifers continue as a resource and ever increasingly important
contributor to the regional and global environmental sustainability, this book will help establish how much sustainability can be expected
and maintained.
Audience
Graduate students, faculty and researchers in ecology, forestry, plant sciences, physiology, and agronomy.
