Description
Evolutionary Physiology of Algae and Aquatic Plants provides an in-depth examination of the physiological adaptations that have enabled algae and aquatic plants to evolve and dominate aquatic ecosystems. The book explores how these organisms have developed remarkable strategies to cope with varying light conditions, nutrient availability, and water chemistry across different aquatic habitats.
Written by leading experts in plant physiology and evolutionary biology, this text synthesizes current research on photosynthetic mechanisms, carbon acquisition, nutrient uptake, and osmotic regulation. It addresses fundamental questions about how aquatic plants have adapted to freshwater and marine environments, from unicellular algae to complex flowering plants.
The volume serves as an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals studying plant evolution, aquatic ecology, and physiological botany, offering insights into the evolutionary pressures that have shaped these organisms.
