Springer Trees in a Changing Environment - Ecophysiology & Adaptation

This comprehensive scientific text examines tree ecophysiology and adaptation strategies for future environmental conditions. The book covers essential topics including water transport systems, xylem and phloem water potential dynamics, and nutrient uptake mechanisms that sustain plant life. Unlike conventional works, it addresses multiple environmental stressors simultaneously: elevated CO2 levels, rising temperatures, ozone (O3) pollution, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and nitrogen deposition effects on trees. Authored by leading researchers and published by Springer as volume 9 in the Plant Ecophysiology series, this resource synthesises current scientific knowledge to help readers understand how trees respond physiologically to air chemistry changes and climate variability. Essential reading for ecophysiologists, forestry professionals, environmental scientists, and researchers studying plant responses to modern atmospheric and climatic challenges.
