Diversity and Evolution of Land PlantsSpringer Science & Business Media, 6 dec. 2012 - 340 pagini Diversity and Evolution of Land Plants provides a fresh and long overdue treatment of plant anatomy and morphology for the biology undergraduate of today. Setting aside the traditional plod through the plant taxa, the author adopts a problem-based functional approach, exploring plant diversity as a series of different solutions to the design problems facing plant life on land. |
