THE PLANT STEM - FRITZ H SCHWEINGRUBER ANNETT B...

This unique and attractive open access textbook combines the beauty of macroscopic pictures of
plant stems with the corresponding colorfully stained images of anatomical micro-structures. In
contrast to most botanical textbooks  it presents all the stem characteristics as photographs
and shows the microscopic reality. The amount of text is reduced to a minimum  and the
scientific information is highlighted with short legends and labeled photographs  allowing
readers to focus on the pictures to easily understand how the anatomical structures relate to
genetic  ecological  decomposition and technical influences. It includes a chapter devoted to
simple anatomical preparation techniques  and further chapters showing the cell content  cell
walls  meristematic tissues and stem structures of all major taxonomic units and morphological
growth forms in various ecological and climatic regions from subarctic to equatorial latitudes
as well as structures of fossil  subfossil and technically altered wood. This textbook appeals
to students and researchers in the fields of plant anatomy  taxonomy  ecology  dendrochronology
history  plant pathology  and evolutionary biology as well as to technologists.
