Beskrivning

The physiology, anatomy and biophysics of xylem dysfunction are discussed and new insights into hydraulic architecture are reviewed with special emphasis on physiological limits on maximum transpiration and how hydraulic architecture limits gas exchange, carbon gain and growth of plants.

From the reviews of the second edition: "The second edition opens with the three-dimensional aspects of wood anatomy. The cohesion-tension theory and new evidence are introduced in response to recent controversies over the mechanism of sap ascent in plants. ... The book highlights fascinating areas of current research with the aim to stimulate more work in the future." (Annals of Forest Science, Issue 1, 2003)
