Production of food fibre and fuel is vital for humanity, and as the
world population continues to rise, demands on these resources is
ever increasing. In a context of growing worldwide concern about
sustainability and environmental impacts of cropland, grassland and
forestry practices, this textbook provides an introduction to the
processes that define the ecology and environment of plant
production. Core principles are examined such as soil-plant
relationships, genetic manipulation and diversity, yield and water
requirements, as well as physical factors such as solar radiation,
temperature and weather. Fully updated with new chapters on climate
change and biofuels, this edition is an important text for students
and researchers in agronomy, forestry, botany, ecology and
environmental sciences. Praise for the first edition: 'I highly
recommend this book for undergraduate students in plant production
courses. It is easy to read, well-structured and of high scientific
level...also useful for a more general readership' Scientia
