This book expands and updates major portions of the 1997 book on “Physiology of Woody Plants” (Second edition) by Theodore T. Kozlowski and Stephen G. Pallardy, published by Academic Press. Since that book was published there has been much new research that has fi lled important gaps in knowl- edge and altered some basic views on how woody plants grow. I therefore considered it important to bring up to date what is known about the physiology of woody plants. This volume was written for use as a text by stu- dents and as a reference for researchers and practition- ers who need to understand how woody plants grow. For all who use the book, it affords a comprehensive overview of woody plant physiology and a doorway to the literature for numerous specialized topics. The subject matter is process-focused, interdisciplinary in scope and should be useful to a broad range of scientists including agroforesters, agronomists, arb orists, botanists, entomologists, foresters, horticul- turists, plant molecular biologists, plant breeders, plant ecologists, plant geneticists, landscape architects, plant pathologists, plant physiologists, and soil scientists. It should also be of interest to practitioners who grow and manage woody plants for production of food and fi ber. The third edition of Physiology of Woody Plants retains the structure of the second. The fi rst chapter empha- sizes the importance of physiological processes through which heredity and environment interact to infl uence plant growth. The second chapter presents an over- view of both form and structure of woody plants. Attention is given to crown form, stem form, and anatomy of leaves, stems, roots, and reproductive structures of angiosperms and gymnosperms. The third chapter describes patterns of vegetative growth of both temperate-zone and tropical woody plants. The fourth chapter characterizes the essentials of reproductive growth. Chapters fi ve to thirteen describe the salient features of the important physiological processes involved in plant growth and development. Separate chapters are devoted to photosynthesis, respiration, carbohydrate relations, nitrogen relations, mineral relations, absorption of water, transpiration, and plant hormones and other signaling molecules.
