Overview

Human activity is producing changes to our environment on an unprecedented global scale. Learning and understanding how plants respond to these changes will be crucial to our ability to feed human populations in the future. This book gives a broad coverage of the ways in which plants respond and adjust to environmental variables and identifies unifying concepts spanning different levels of plant organization from the subcellular to the whole natural plant community. The 18 chapters were originally presented as invited contributions from all over the world at a meeting sponsored by the Rank Prize Funds, in October 1992.
