Environmental Plant Physiology

Langue : Anglais

Couverture de l’ouvrage Environmental Plant Physiology

Environmental Plant Physiology focuses on the physiology of plant-environment interactions, revealing plants as the key terrestrial intersection of the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. It provides a contemporary understanding of the topic by focusing on some of humankind's fundamental biological, agricultural and environmental challenges. Its chapters identify thirteen key environmental variables, grouping them into resources, stressors and pollutants, and leading the reader through how they challenge plants and how plants respond at molecular, physiological, whole plant and ecological levels. The importance of taking account of spatial and temporal dimensions of environmental change in order to understand plant function is emphasised. The book uses a mixture of ecological, environmental and agricultural examples throughout in order to provide a holistic view of the topic suitable for a contemporary student audience. Each chapter uses a novel stress response hierarchy to integrate plant responses across spatial and temporal scales in an easily digestible framework.

Postgraduate and Undergraduate
Dr Neil James Willey PhDDirector of the Centre for Research in Plant ScienceLecturer at the University of the West of EnglandUndergraduate Teaching: For almost two decades the Author has taught plant biology and plant-environment interactions to undergraduates and postgraduates studying biological and environmental degrees. He teaches botanical aspects of ‘The Living World’ (Yr1) to Biology, Biosciences, Conservation Biology and Environmental Science students, and for many years have run modules in ‘Plant Growth & Survival’ (Yr2) and ‘Environmental Plant Physiology’ (Yr3) to Biology and Environmental Science students. He also teaches on modules in ‘Climate Change’, ‘Molecular Biotechnology’, ‘Environmental Toxicology’ and ‘Genome Analysis’ to students from Biology and Environmental Science degrees. Postgraduate Teaching: The Author teaches MSc students on Biosciences and Environmental Consultancy. He leads the Masters dissertations in environmental topics which 200+ students have now completed. He has supervised 20+ Masters dissertations in plant-environment topics. He’s supervised 7 PhD students to completion. He has been external examiner for PhDs at Bristol, Imperial, Nottingham, Portsmouth and Hasselt (Belgium) and has been an internal PhD examiner 12 times. He was also Chair of the Faculty Research Degrees Committee and Director of the Faculty Graduate School with responsibility for 70+ PhD students at any one time. The Author has been a tutor on numerous GradSchools organised for the Research Councils through UKGrad and Vitae, and is a tutor on the SouthWest GradSchool for PhD students from all universities in the South West of England. Research Interests. The Author is interested in stressors and xenobiotics in the soil-plant system, in particular radionuclides and toxic metals but also organics. He has researched radionuclides in the soil-plant system and his current interests include the effects of phylogeny on soil-plant transfer, the phytoremediation
