Description
Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer, covers the entire field of water
relations using current concepts and consistent terminology. Emphasis is on the interdependence of processes, including rate of water
absorption, rate of transpiration, resistance to water flow into roots, soil factors affecting water availability. New trends in the
field, such as the consideration of roots (rather than leaves) as the primary sensors of water stress, are examined in detail.
