The Dynamics of Plant Growth

Integrating Morphology, Physiology, and Development

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first book to treat plant growth specifically as a dynamic system, adopting a truly holistic approach. It describes the main groups of dynamic processes that interact in the control of plant growth, and provides a framework for tackling practical questions relating to the impacts of global environmental change.
