Environmental Plant Physiology: Botanical Strategies for a Climate-Smart Planet

attempts to assimilate a relatively new subject that helps us understand the very phenomenon of life that persists in the planet’s environment and depends on, and is influenced by, a specific set of operating environmental factors. It is the subject that helps us understand adaptation mechanisms within a variety of habitats as well as the implications of the alterations of environmental factors on the inhabiting organisms, their populations, and communities. Further, this book can also be of vital importance for policy makers and organizations dealing with climate-related issues and committed to the cause of the earth. This book can be instrumental in formulating strategies that can lead us to a climate-smart planet.

Features:

• Provides ecological basis of environmental plant physiology

• Discusses energy, nutrient, water, temperature, allelochemical, and altitude relations of plants

• Reviews stress physiology of plants and plants’ adaptations to the changing climate

• Examines climate-change effects on plant physiology

• Elucidates evolving botanical strategies for a climate-smart planet
