Description
Introducing students to the principles of the discipline within a strong environmental context, leading naturally to discussions of the role of plants in specific ecosystems as well as global ecology, this book adopts an holistic approach to the subject, allowing the student to build a conceptual framework. Information on chemical background, the cell, plant growth regulators and biochemistry has been integrated into the text where relevant, and emphasis is placed on underlying principles as well as epistemology.
