This fourth edition includes both the classical concepts and recent developments in the field of tree physiology, and addresses a broad audience interested in gaining a basic understanding of woody plant functioning, as well as those wanting to refresh their knowledge of developments at the forefront of tree physiology. The book offers novel insight into the functioning of multiple physiological processes in woody plants, providing a basic interdisciplinary understanding of the controls of climatic and biotic factors responsible for tree growth in current and future climates.
Ülo Niinemets, Ph.D. focuses on the Importance of structural features of leaves and canopy in determining species shade-tolerance in temperate deciduous woody taxa (Importance of structural features of leaves and canopy in determining species shade-tolerance in temperate deciduous woody taxa). He serves as the Chair and Professor of Crop Sciences and Plant Biology at Estonian University of Life Sciences.

Editor of Frontiers in Plant Science (Frontiers in Functional Plant Ecology) Stephen Pallardy’s research interests include the physiological responses of plants to water stress and comparative water relations, and the mechanisms by which seedlings of selected woody species and ecotypes are able to resist drought stress more effectively than others. The underlying motivation for that research included understanding how selective pressures that are associated with xeric habitats influence the evolution of drought adaptations among and within species and potential genetic improvements as a result.
