Biology of Marine Plants

This book provides an introduction to recent analytical and experimental studies of plant growth in the sea. The physiology and ecology of marine plants are, therefore, emphasized at the expense of a more traditional taxonomic or morphological treatment. The physics and chemistry of the marine environment are examined with specific reference to the requirements of marine plants, and much of the book concentrates on those aspects of their physiology which are unique to marine plants, or which help us to understand their ecology.Dring, Matthew H. is the author of 'Biology of Marine Plants', published 1991 under ISBN 9780521427654 and ISBN 0521427657.
