Publisher's Synopsis
This latest volume in a monographic series on botanical research contains four reviews covering subjects of interest to a broad range of botanists. These are, the effects of polluted air on photosynthesis and stomatal function, the use of physiological/biochemical responses as an analytical tool in the early detection of injury caused by stress and air pollution, the transport and metabolism of carbon and nitrogen in legume nodules and the interaction of plants with wind, including the effect of vegetation on air movement and the resulting influences on microclimate.;The book also examines the construction of fibre optic microprobes and their applications in measuring the light micro-environment within plant tissues.
