Description for Functional and Ecological Xylem Anatomy
Hardback. Editor(s): Hacke, Uwe. Num Pages: 293 pages, 58 black & white illustrations, 42 colour illustrations, 9 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: PSTD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 631.
The book will describe the xylem structure of different plant groups, and will put the findings in a physiological and ecological context. For instance, when differences in vessel diameter are featured, then there will be an explanation why this matters for water transport efficiency and safety from cavitation. The focus is on the hydraulic function of xylem, although mechanical support and storage will also be covered. Featured plant groups include ferns (which only have primary xylem), conifers (tracheid-based xylem), lianas (extremely wide and long vessels), drought-adapted shrubs as well as the model systems poplar and grapevine. The book chapters will ... Read more
