"Research on the uptake, acquisition and assimilation of nitrogen, as well as the synthesis and storage of reserve and defence N-compounds is essential. The third volume in the Plant Ecophysiology series integrates functional and molecular physiology with ecophysiological and su…
This fifth edition provides the basics for introductory courses on plant physiology without sacrificing the more challenging material sought by upper division and graduate level students. Many new or revised figures and photographs, study questions and a glossary of key terms ha…

This book provides a synthesis of plant-soil-plant interactions from the plot to landscape scale. It focuses on the process level, which is relevant to many types of multispecies agroecosystems (agroforestry, intercropping and others). It also links basic research to practical a…
Gary Zimmer is recognized for improving farming by restoring soils. Arguing that an optimally productive soil contains a balance of inorganic minerals, organic materials and living organisms, he relies less on modern improvements than on "the things we’ve learned by improving fe…
Describes how plants respond genetically and physiologically to nutrients at the cellular and whole-plant levels and under stress. Essential information for the implementation of low-impact sustainable agriculture globally.
Efforts to increase efficient nutrient use by crops are of growing importance as the global demand for food, fibre and fuel increases and competition for resources intensifies. This book provides both a summary of the latest advances in the field as well as anticipating directio…
The study of plant mineral nutrition has both academic and applied aspects to it. Today, research into plant mineral nutrition is more pertinent than ever in the face of a growing world population and the increasing need for sustainable agriculture. In Plant Mineral Nutrients: M…
This introductory text aims to help students understand the behaviour of soils in the man-made and the natural environment. It is structured in two parts: Part A is an introduction to general soil properties and processes, whilst Part B considers soil in relation to the environm…
