Description
TAYLOR & FRANCIS Experimental Ecophysiology And Biochemistry Of Trees And Shrubs Edition 2020 by RODRIGUEZ H G
The existence and competition of trees and shrubs to sustain and put forth growth under varied environmental conditions is dependent on the interactions that occur between the plant metabolic processes and the prevailing environmental conditions. In order to understand the productivity of trees and shrubs it is a prerequisite to know the experimental techniques of these vital processes. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of this topic.The first part of this book deals with various aspects of experimental ecophysiology and recent research results of studies on plant pigments epicuticular wax leaf nutrients carbon fixation all supported by literature. The second part of the volume describes various laboratory techniques such as diffusion imbibition calorimetry atomic absorption mineral nutrition nutrition analysis of forage litterfall chemistry nutrient cycle etc. The third and fourth parts deal with advances in the techniques in the development of ecophysiology.The book will serve as an important handbook and resource for students faculty and teachers technicians and researchers and scientists involved in forest science dealing with ecophysiology and biochemistry of woody and crop plants.
