Résumé

This text provides comprehensive coverage of the ecological aspects of plant physiology. Topics covered include: acquisition, partitioning and loss of carbon; resource acquisition by plants: the role of crown architecture; and plant responses to small perturbations in soil water status.

Physiological Plant Ecology Résumé

Physiological Plant Ecology: 39th Symposium of the British Ecological Society Malcolm Press (University of Sheffield)

The last decade has seen rapid and major advances in our understanding of the physiological ecology of plants. This volume contains 22 chapters that review some of these advances and new challenges. The chapters cover five broad themes: resource acquisition and utilisation; interactions between organisms; responses to global environmental changes; ecosystems; and integration and scaling. The book brings together an unrivalled collection of leading practitioners in the discipline from North America, Europe and Australia and adopts a broad approach, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. It will be a valuable tool for researchers and advanced students in the discipline.
