Our knowledge of the functional characteristics of the plants of
mediterranean-cl imate regions has increased greatly in the past
decade. In recent times the possibility of large-scale util ization
of biomass for energy from these regions has been proposed. In
order to assess the feasibil ity of these proposals we must
consider the productive structure of these plant communities and
how they vary through time and space. This symposium was an attempt
to examine our recently acquired basic knowledge of the
environmental I imitations on the productivity of Mediterranean
plant communities in relation to the consequences of the possible
util ization of these communities for energy and chemicals.
Specifically in this book we examine the mechanisms by which plants
of mediterranean-cl imate regions maintain their productive
capacity under the prevail ing conditions of summer draught and
winter cold. We consider the characteristics of leaves, their
history, morphology and plasticity. Evergreen sclerophyll leaves
are common to the dominant plants of all mediterranean-cl imate
regions and thus they have significance in terms of enhancing
carbon gain and water-use efficiency as well as ensuring survival
under the prevail ing cl imatic conditions.
