Description
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.
Audience:
Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, researchers in Biology, Plant Science, Ecology, and Environmental Science.
