Publicity campaigns exhort us to plant yet more. Yet until recently comparatively little was known about the root causes of the physical changes that attend their growth. Since trees typically increase in size by three to four orders of magnitude in their journey to maturity, this gap in our knowledge has been a crucial issue to address. Here at last is a synthesis of the current state of our knowledge about both the causes and consequences of ontogenetic changes in key features of tree structure and function..During their ontogeny, trees undergo numerous changes in their physiological function, the structure and mechanical properties of their wood, and overall architecture and allometry. This book examines the central interplay between these changes and tree size and age. It also explores the impact these changes can have, at the level of the individual tree, on the emerging characteristics of forest ecosystems at various stages of their development. The analysis offers an explanation for the importance of discriminating between the varied physical properties ar | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Forest ecology; Plant ecophysiology; Plant water relations; Tree growth and development; Tree physiology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-1242-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3769-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-1242-3Series ISSN 1568-2544 | issn_series | 1568-2544 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 |
