Description

Over the past century, the savannah biome has experienced widespread woody encroachment as a result of climatic or disturbance regime changes, with negative ecological, hydrological, and economical effects. Over a five-year period, we measured changes in tree density and basal area and predicted changes in how much rain the canopies intercepted. The most recent and important developments in the study of woody plant stress are covered in the book Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses. You can learn about cutting-edge research on woody plant propagation, the biology of dormancy induction and release, as well as physiologic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms, in this book. Graduate students, teachers, and researchers with interests in plant stress physiology in botany, horticulture, agriculture, landscape architecture, or forestry would find this book useful.
