Ecological Strategies of Xylem Evolution provides an in-depth exploration of xylem adaptations across various plant species, examining the ecological and physiological factors that drive structural differences within vascular plants. This volume moves beyond traditional "primitive versus specialized" classifications, investigating the reasons certain xylem traits have evolved in response to environmental factors like moisture availability, transpiration rates, and mechanical demands. By integrating a wide array of xylem configurations and species across diverse habitats, this work offers a…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Ecological Strategies of Xylem Evolution provides an in-depth exploration of xylem adaptations across various plant species, examining the ecological and physiological factors that drive structural differences within vascular plants. This volume moves beyond traditional "primitive versus specialized" classifications, investigating the reasons certain xylem traits have evolved in response to environmental factors like moisture availability, transpiration rates, and mechanical demands. By integrating a wide array of xylem configurations and species across diverse habitats, this work offers a broader perspective on plant adaptation, addressing complex questions such as the persistence of "primitive" xylem traits and potential reversibility in xylem evolution. Through comparative analysis, Ecological Strategies of Xylem Evolution reveals that xylem diversity is not merely a product of statistical correlations but rather a reflection of adaptive responses within specific ecological contexts. This study emphasizes the significance of wide-ranging comparisons across vascular plant groups, highlighting how anatomical data reflect ecological pressures and adaptations within genera and families. A vital resource for botanists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists, this text bridges plant anatomy and ecology, providing a comprehensive approach to understanding xylem evolution's role in plant resilience and adaptation.
