Nutrient Acquisition by Plants Summary

Nutrient Acquisition by Plants: An Ecological Perspective by Hormoz BassiriRad

This is an integrated review of the mechanisms controlling plant nutrient uptake and how plants respond to changes in the environment. Among key topics covered are: soil nutrient bioavailability; root responses to variations in nutrient supply; nitrogen fixation; root architecture; life span; mycorrhizae; responses to climate change. The book helps us understand the mechanisms that govern present-day plant communities and to predict the response of plants to a changing climate.

Nutrient Acquisition by Plants Reviews

From the reviews:

This volume of 'Ecological Studies' helps physiologically oriented scientists to obtain a view of their research at higher scales and/or organizational levels. For the ecologically oriented researchers ... it helps to get insight in mechanisms at a smaller scale and some insight into the extensive progress in molecular-biological research. This book is really worth reading more than once because there are a lot of specific and general aspects that are not found in other books in such a broad perspective. (Dieter Horlacher, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 164, 2007)

In this book fifteen authors in twelve chapters review various factors influencing nutrient uptake by plants. ... The book is a highly valuable extension of basic textbooks about nutrient acquisition by plants. I would recommend it most strongly to all ecologists who want to read a clear introductory review on each of the announced topics and as a starting source of relevant references. (Stanislav Brezina, Folia Geobotanica, Vol. 41 (4), 2006)
