Synopsis
This book presents comprehensive coverage of differentiated plant responses to changing environments. It focuses on how multiple and combined stress factors influence plant survival. It examines the latest data on the capacity of roots to alter growth patterns due to disturbances in physical and/or chemical soil constraints, water supply, and other traumas. It contains over 85% new and updated material with more than 1500 new citations, tables, drawings, and photographs.

Review
"Praise for the First Edition. . . . . .contains valuable information. . .on the different stresses imposed on plants during their development. . .recommended to scientists in the areas of plant and crop physiology, plant biochemistry and botany." ---Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science ." . .all the problems are discussed in a very matter-of-fact way and presented in a concise form. . . .an extremely rich source of information for specialists in various fields" ---for biologists, plant pathologists, plant physiologists, and ecologists.. . .very useful for farmers and foresters as well as botanists. . ..recommended to students specializing in the above fields. ---Acta Phyiologiae Plantarum ." . .well-done. . ..the book is very important to all interested in an up-to-date overview on the complex plant-environment interactions." ---Biologia Plantarum ." . .an incomparable resource of up-to-date information for all scientists and students." ---Photosynthetica ." . .of high scientific value. . .to scholars and researchers in many disciplines which deal with the environment." ---Advances in Horticultural Science ." . .a comprehensive reference." ---Field Crops Research ." . .recommended." ---Journal of Plant Physiology ..."the first edition of this book concentrated on plant response to different stresses individually...the second edition...deal[s] with complex responses of plants to multiple stress factors. ...this book is authentically valuable due to its comprehensive reviewing of the newest belief in the field of plant abiotic stress. The described unfavorable conditions which limit plant growth [are] broadly illustrated...recommend[ed]...for all the scientists who deal with stressesand try to understand the mechanisms responsible for plant tolerance." ---Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2001
