Vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula
ISBN: 9789048150205 / Angielski / Miękka / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The inspiration for this book came from our ten years of journeys and wanderings through the varied landscapes of Arabia, and in particular through those of its hospitable southeastern corner, Oman. We owe a particular debt to Sultan Qaboos University, which during this time has provided us with both a stimulating working environment and a home. Transliteration of Arabic place and other names into English script is a task fraught with difficulties. We have followed 'accepted' spellings wherever these were not contrary to our common sense, and in other cases we have rendered names into Roman...

Organic Xenobiotics and Plants: From Mode of Action to Ecophysiology
ISBN: 9789400734067 / Angielski / Miękka / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural and agro-ecosystems are frequently exposed to natural or synthetic substances, which, while they have no direct nutritional value or significance in metabolism, may negatively affect plant functioning. These, xenobiotics, may originate from both natural (fires, volcano eruptions, soil or rock erosion, biodegradation) and anthropogenic (air and soil pollution, herbicides) sources. And, while affected plants have only a limited number of possibilities for avoiding accumulation of these compounds, they do exhibit several enzymatic reactions for detoxification including oxidation,...
