Adaptation and evolution of terrestrial plants depend, to a
large extent, on their ability to acquire nutrients. This is a
modern and integrative treatment of the mechanisms controlling
plant nutrient uptake and how plants respond to changes in the
environment. The following key topics are covered: soil nutrient
bioavailability; root responses to variations in nutrient supply;
nitrogen fixation; regulation of nutrient uptake by internal plant
demand; root characteristics; kinetics of nutrient uptake; root
architecture; life span; mycorrhizae; responses to climate change.
This integrated view helps us to understand the mechanisms that
govern present-day plant communities and is indispensable in models
designed to predict the response of plants to a changing
climate.
