Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses

Description

Woody encroachment due to changes in climate or in the disturbance regimes has been observed throughout the savannah biome over the last century with ecological, hydrological and socioeconomic consequences. We assessed changes in tree density and basal area and estimated changes in rain interception by the canopies across a 5-Year period. Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses covers the latest and most significant advances in woody plant stress research. The book will provide you with innovative research on the propagation in woody plants, the biology of dormancy induction and release in woody plants—physiologic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms, etc. This book will appeal to graduate students, instructors, and researchers who specialize in plant stress physiology in botany, agriculture, horticulture, landscape design, or forestry.
