Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

Sunlight damages photosynthetic machinery, primarily photosystem II (PSII), and causes
photoinhibition that can limit plant photosynthetic activity, growth and productivity. The extent …

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer,
covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology …

Remote sensing is becoming an increasingly important tool for agriculturalists, ecologists,
and land managers for the study of Earth's agricultural and natural vegetation, and can be …

Potassium (K) plays a major role in the basic functions of plant growth and development. In
addition, K is also involved in numerous physiological functions related to plant health and …

To meet the growing demand for soybean it is necessary to increase crop yield, even in low
water availability conditions. To circumvent the negative effects of water deficit, application of …

Although water is the most abundant molecule on the Earth's surface, the availability of
water is the factor that most strongly restricts terrestrial plant production on a global scale …

Extraction of leaf area index (LAI) is an important prerequisite in numerous studies related to
plant ecology, physiology and breeding. LAI is indicative for the performance of a plant …

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) measured from space has been increasingly
used to quantify plant photosynthesis at regional and global scales. Apparent canopy SIF …

Mature leaves of many plants re‐orientate their laminae photonastically in response to non‐
directional light signals, and/or phototropically in response to directional light signals, by …
