Description for Plant Ecophysiology
Hardcover. Plant ecophysiology is the study of the ways in which plants interact with their environment, and how they adapt to it. This work is divided into two parts. The first deals with abiotic, natural environmental factors and the second deals with anthropogenic factors. Editor(s): Prasad, M. N. V. Num Pages: 552 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PSTD; PSTS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 163 x 42. Weight in Grams: 1002.
Twenty-nine, prominent, international researchers provide contributions which deal with understanding the basic ecophysiological and molecular principles governing the functioning of plant systems in relation to their environment. Divided into two headings: biotic and abiotic; the first consists of abiotic, natural environmental factors--light, ultraviolet radiation, chilling and freezing, high temperatures, drought, flooding, salt and trace metals. The latter half presents anthropogenic aspects including allelochemicals, herbicides, polyamines, air pollutants, carbon dioxide, radioisotopes and fire.
