This book delivers current state-of-the-science knowledge of tree
ecophysiology, with particular emphasis on adaptation to a novel
future physical and chemical environment. Unlike the focus of most
books on the topic, this considers air chemistry changes (O3, NOx,
and N deposition) in addition to elevated CO2 effects and its
secondary effects of elevated temperature. The authors have
addressed two systems essential for plant life: water handling
capacity from the perspective of water transport; the coupling of
xylem and phloem water potential and flow; water and nutrition
uptake via likely changes in mycorrhizal relationships; control of
water loss via stomata and its retention via cellular regulation;
and within plant carbon dynamics from the perspective of
environmental limitations to growth, allocation to defences, and
changes in partitioning to respiration. The authors offer expert
knowledge and insight to develop likely outcomes within the context
of many unknowns. We offer this comprehensive analysis of tree
responses and their capacity to respond to environmental changes to
provide a better insight in understanding likelihood for survival,
as well as planning for the future with long-lived, stationary
organisms adapted to the past: trees.
