Vascular Plants as Epiphytes: Evolution and Ecophysiology (Ecological Studies)

Ulrich E. Lüttge

4.9/5 (26438 ratings)

Description:Vascular Plants as Epiphytes have not been treated comprehensively in the recent literature. Yet they constitute an important ecophysiologically defined group, since vascular epiphytes make up a high proportion of species and biomass in tropical rain forests. They show ecological adaptations ranging from morphological traits to special physiological responses and metabolic reactions, such as the crassulacean acid metabolism. In view of their variability and ecological relevance the present book was composed, which treats evolution and ecophysiology both in general and in specific terms, discussing phylogenetic trends, metabolic reactions in carbon acquisition, mineral nutrition and interactions with plants, and presenting case histories for plant taxa which are particularly rich in epiphytes, "viz." ferns, bromeliads and orchids. A final chapter gives a taxonomic survey of vascular epiphytes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
