Our discussions in Chs. 12 and 13 focus on determining which environments were energetically acceptable to animals and on energetic costs of living in those environments. Similar questions apply to the study of plants and plant communities. In this chapter we are interested in the environmental factors that determine temperatures and transpiration ...

Plant Species and Plant Communities: An Introduction
1978This symposium is dealing with various relations between plant species as basic systematic units and plant communities as basic vegetation units. It will thereby touch upon relations between the respective ecological disciplines as well, disciplines we used to call autecology and synecology.

Thermal Balance of Plants and Plant Communities
2018This chapter focuses on the physical basis of the exchange of solar energy. As an introduction to the topic, the energy balance of the atmosphere is explained, followed by a section on the microclimate near the ground surface. It is the exchange of energy that determines the temperature near the ground as modified by biotic and abiotic factors.

Spatial Distribution of Plants and Plant Communities
2018In this chapter we describe the spatial patterns of plant species and communities that developed over time. Together with Chap. 17, it underlines the significance of dynamics in space and time for a thorough understanding of biotic interactions within ecosystems.

Abstract A large body of experimental data on the effects of increased concentrations of carbon dioxide on the metabolism of plants supports the assumption that one of the biotic effects of the current changes in the atmosphere will be an acceleraton of carbon fixation through photosynthesis.

Signaling and Communication in Plants
2011The perspective we are looking at plants in the last years is dramatically changing, tending away from seeing them as passive entities subject to environmental forces. The new vision is that plants are dynamic and highly sensitive organisms, with complex behaviors actively and competitively foraging for limited resources both above and belowground ...

Agricultural genomics and subterranean plant-plant communications
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2000Agricultural genomics has the potential to dramatically enrich the availability and quality of food supplies worldwide. However, because thousands of different plant species are grown for food, the application of genomics to crop improvement faces issues distinct from those in medical research.

The subsequent sections summarize some results of more or less continuous macrophytic vegetation studies between 1959 and 1983. Most of the facts, established before the nuclear power plant came into operation, already have been published (Krausch 1964, 1967, 1968a).

Intelligence is an aspect of complex adaptive behaviour and a term not normally applied to plants. This chapter indicates a change in concept is long overdue and if poets can recognize it (above) so should scientists. Networks that control information flow are described as intelligent and such networks exist in all single living cells and inmore ...
