Growth, reproduction, and geographical distribution of plants are
profoundly influenced by their physiological ecology: the
interaction with the surrounding physical, chemical, and biological
environments. This textbook highlights mechanisms that underlie
plant physiological ecology at the levels of physiology,
biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology. At the same time,
the integrative power of physiological ecology is well suited to
assess the costs, benefits, and consequences of modifying plants
for human needs and to evaluate the role of plants in natural and
managed ecosystems. Plant Physiological Ecology, Third Edition is
significantly updated, with many full color illustrations, and
begins with the primary processes of carbon metabolism and
transport, plant water relations, and energy balance. After
considering individual leaves and whole plants, these physiological
processes are then scaled up to the level of the canopy. Subsequent
chapters discuss mineral nutrition and the ways in which plants
cope with nutrient-deficient or toxic soils. The book then looks at
patterns of growth and allocation, life-history traits, and
interactions between plants and other organisms. Later chapters
deal with traits that affect decomposition of plant material and
with the consequences of plant physiological ecology at ecosystem
and global levels. Plant Physiological Ecology, Third Edition
features several boxed entries that extend the discussions of
selected issues, a glossary, and numerous references to the primary
and review literature. This significant new text is suitable for
use in plant ecology courses, as well as classes ranging from plant
physiology to plant molecular biology.
