In this review we relate the physiological significance of C4 photosynthesis to plant
performance in nature. We begin with an examination of the physiological consequences of …

This review provides a theoretical framework and global maps for relations between
nitrogen-(N)-nutrition and stomatal conductance, gs, at the leaf scale and fluxes of water …

Generations of plant scientists have been fascinated by alpine plant life-with the exposure of
organisms to dramatic climatic gradients over a very short distance. This comprehensive text …

Abstract This Manual of Practice (MOP) is a comprehensive reference to estimating the
water quantities needed for irrigation of crops based upon the physics of evaporation and …

The photosynthetic capacity of leaves is related to the nitrogen content primarily bacause the
proteins of the Calvin cycle and thylakoids represent the majority of leaf nitrogen. To a first …

The functioning of all living systems obeys the laws of physics in fundamental ways. This is
true for all physiological processes that occur inside cells, tissues, organs, and organisms …

Large-scale conversion of tropical forests into pastures or annual crops could lead to
changes in the climate. We have used a coupled numerical model of the global atmosphere …

Recent measurements of atmospheric CO2 levels in ice cores1 have shown that global CO2
has increased by about 60 µmol mol− 1 over the past 200 years. Evidence for the response …

Physiological ecology of forest production was originally planned as a second edition to the
well-known book by the same name, published 25 years ago ( Landsberg 1986). The …
