Plants in Alpine regions [electronic resource] : cell physiology of adaption and survival strategies / Cornelius Lütz, editor.
This book brings together experts from different fields, who used a broad spectrum of methods to investigate the physiological and cellular adaptation of alpine plants from the tree line to the upper limits. Some articles link alpine plant physiology with physiological adaptations observed in polar...
