Plant Growth and Climate Change. 2006. illus. XIV, 213 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
This volume exploresplant growth and anthropogenic climate change, considering the effects of ecology on physiology, and agricultural as well as wider vegetation science. It focuses on the features of climate that are important to plants, emphasising aspects of temporal pattern, seasonality and extremes. Individual chapters discuss the mechanisms underlying physiological and ecological responses to the key variables in climatechange - in particular, changing plant function over time (acclimation) and also between species (adaptation), functional types and growth forms.
