Book Synopsis The Physiological Ecology of Woody Plants by : Theodore T. Kozlowski
Download or read book The Physiological Ecology of Woody Plants written by Theodore T. Kozlowski. This book was released on 2012-12-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient management of trees and other woody plants can be improved given an understanding of the physiological processes that control growth, the complex environmental factors that influence those processes, and our ability to regulate and maintain environmental conditions that facilitate growth. - Emphasizes genetic and environmental interactions that influence woody plant growth - Outlines responses of individual trees and tree communities to environmental stress - Explores cultural practices useful for efficient management of shade, forest, and fruit trees, woody vines, and shrubs

Book Synopsis Physiological Ecology of Forest Production by : J. J. Landsberg
Download or read book Physiological Ecology of Forest Production written by J. J. Landsberg. This book was released on 2010-11-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process-based models open the way to useful predictions of the future growth rate of forests and provide a means of assessing the probable effects of variations in climate and management on forest productivity. As such they have the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional forest growth and yield models, which are based on mensuration data and assume that climate and atmospheric CO2 concentrations will be the same in the future as they are now. This book discusses the basic physiological processes that determine the growth of plants, the way they are affected by environmental factors and how we can improve processes that are well-understood such as growth from leaf to stand level and productivity. A theme that runs through the book is integration to show a clear relationship between photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrient requirements, transpiration, water relations and other factors affecting plant growth that are often looked at separately. This integrated approach will provide the most comprehensive source for process-based modelling, which is valuable to ecologists, plant physiologists, forest planners and environmental scientists. - Includes explanations of inherently mathematical models, aided by the use of graphs and diagrams illustrating causal interactions and by examples implemented as Excel spreadsheets - Uses a process-based model as a framework for explaining the mechanisms underlying plant growth - Integrated approach provides a clear and relatively simple treatment

Book Synopsis Response of Plants to Multiple Stresses by : William E. Winner
Download or read book Response of Plants to Multiple Stresses written by William E. Winner. This book was released on 2012-12-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a whole-plant perspective on plant integrated responses to multiple stresses, including an analysis of how plants have evolved growth forms and phenological responses to cope with changing stress patterns in natural environments. - Explores stress responses at both the structural and process levels - Outlines structural, phenological, and physiological responses that optimize production under multiple stresses - Combines physiological and evolutionary perspectives

Book Synopsis Trees in a Changing Environment by : Michael Tausz
Download or read book Trees in a Changing Environment written by Michael Tausz. This book was released on 2014-08-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delivers current state-of-the-science knowledge of tree ecophysiology, with particular emphasis on adaptation to a novel future physical and chemical environment. Unlike the focus of most books on the topic, this considers air chemistry changes (O3, NOx, and N deposition) in addition to elevated CO2 effects and its secondary effects of elevated temperature. The authors have addressed two systems essential for plant life: water handling capacity from the perspective of water transport; the coupling of xylem and phloem water potential and flow; water and nutrition uptake via likely changes in mycorrhizal relationships; control of water loss via stomata and its retention via cellular regulation; and within plant carbon dynamics from the perspective of environmental limitations to growth, allocation to defences, and changes in partitioning to respiration. The authors offer expert knowledge and insight to develop likely outcomes within the context of many unknowns. We offer this comprehensive analysis of tree responses and their capacity to respond to environmental changes to provide a better insight in understanding likelihood for survival, as well as planning for the future with long-lived, stationary organisms adapted to the past: trees.
