![]() ![]() The herbaceous layer in forests of Eastern North America, 2nd edition. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, Inc. The herbaceous layer in forests of Eastern North America. This integrated approach will provide the most comprehensive source for process-based modelling, which is valuable to ecologists, plant physiologists, forest planners and environmental scientists. Menlo Park, CA: The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc. A theme that runs through the book is integration to show a clear relationship between photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrient requirements, transpiration, water relations and other factors affecting plant growth that are often looked at separately. This book discusses the basic physiological processes that determine the growth of plants, the way they are affected by environmental factors and how we can improve processes that are well-understood such as growth from leaf to stand level and productivity. As such they have the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional forest growth and yield models, which are based on mensuration data and assume that climate and atmospheric CO 2 concentrations will be the same in the future as they are now. Publisher : Benjamin Cummings 3rd edition (October 9, 1998) Language : English Paperback. Process-based models open the way to useful predictions of the future growth rate of forests and provide a means of assessing the probable effects of variations in climate and management on forest productivity.
