Physiology of woody plants third edition
This book expands and updates major portions of
the 1997 book on “Physiology of Woody Plants”
(Second edition) by Theodore T. Kozlowski and
Stephen G. Pallardy, published by Academic Press.
Since that book was published there has been much
new research that has fi
lled important gaps in knowl-
edge and altered some basic views on how woody
plants grow. I therefore considered it important to
bring up to date what is known about the physiology
of woody plants.
This volume was written for use as a text by stu-
dents and as a reference for researchers and practition-
ers who need to understand how woody plants grow.
For all who use the book, it affords a comprehensive
overview of woody plant physiology and a doorway
to the literature for numerous specialized topics. The
subject matter is process-focused, interdisciplinary
in scope and should be useful to a broad range
of scientists including agroforesters, agronomists,
arb orists, botanists, entomologists, foresters, horticul-
turists, plant molecular biologists, plant breeders, plant
ecologists, plant geneticists, landscape architects, plant
pathologists, plant physiologists, and soil scientists. It
should also be of interest to practitioners who grow
and manage woody plants for production of food
and fi
ber.
The third edition of
Physiology of Woody Plants
retains
the structure of the second. The fi
rst chapter empha-
sizes the importance of physiological processes through
which heredity and environment interact to infl
uence
plant growth. The second chapter presents an over-
view of both form and structure of woody plants.
Attention is given to crown form, stem form, and
anatomy of leaves, stems, roots, and reproductive structures of angiosperms and gymnosperms. The
third chapter describes patterns of vegetative growth
of both temperate-zone and tropical woody plants.
The fourth chapter characterizes the essentials of
reproductive growth. Chapters fi
ve to thirteen describe
the salient features of the important physiological
processes involved in plant growth and development.
Separate chapters are devoted to photosynthesis,
respiration, carbohydrate relations, nitrogen relations,
mineral relations, absorption of water, transpiration,
and plant hormones and other signaling molecules.
