Ecophysiology of Tropical Plants: Recent Trends and Future Perspectives

ISBN-13: 9781032370446 / Angielski

Sachchidanand Tripathi; Rahul Bhadouria; Pratap Srivastava

Opis

Plants in tropical region are coping with enormous challenge of physiological stresses owing to the changing environmental and climatic conditions. Rapid growth of human population and rampant exploitation of fossil fuels and other developmental activities are actively contributing to such perturbations.
