Trees in a Changing Environment
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This volume, edited by Tausz (Univ. of Melbourne, Australia) and Grulke (USDA Forest Service), brings together a collection of 11 papers that address the physiological responses of trees to environmental change, and the ecological implications of those responses. . Each chapter is well referenced to the primary literature. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty." (A. Richardson, Choice, Vol. 52 (8), April, 2015)
"The book offers an integrated, qualitative, and comprehensive analysis of the capacity of trees to respond to environmental changes, and will be of great interest to plant scientists, policy makers, and forest officials. . 'the authors in this book used their expert knowledge and insight to develop qualitative conclusions within the context of many unknowns'." (P. C. Abhilash, Vishal Tripathi, Rama Kant Dubey and Sheikh Adil Edrisi, Trends in Plant Science, February, 2015)
