During the last two decades, the increase in expertise and sophistication in equipment/techniques led to an explosion in our knowledge of tree physiology. Leading tree physiologists, the world over, have written a series of articles providing a comprehensive review of important aspects regarding this timely subject. Topics include growth, development and ecological responses of trees.

The efficient management of trees and other woody plants can be improved given an understanding of the physiological processes that control growth, the complex environmental factors that influence those processes, and our ability to regulate and maintain environmental conditions that facilitate growth. Key Features * emphasizes genetic and environmental interactions that influence woody plant growth * outlines responses of individual trees and tree communities to environmental stress * explores cultural practices useful for efficient management of shade, forest, and fruit trees, woody vines, and shrubs

Water Relations of Plants

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer, covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology. Emphasis is on the interdependence of processes, including rate of water absorption, rate of transpiration, resistance to water flow into roots, soil factors affecting water availability. New trends in the field, such as the consideration of roots (rather than leaves) as the primary sensors of water stress, are examined in detail.
