Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of Desert Plants to Soil Moisture and to Evaporation Every observer of desert vegetation has had his attention drawn to the question of how certain plants of the arid regions are able to main tain a more or less active transpiration during long periods of absolute lack of precipitation, when the soil in which they are rooted becomes not only apparently air-dry but also attains exceedingly high tempera tures. It seemed that careful quantitative studies of the moisture con ditions in desert soil and desert atmosphere, and of the relation of these conditions to the transpiration and life of desert plants, might throw considerable light not only upon this problem of extreme xerophytism, but also upon the limitations of plant life in general. Just as the alpine summits of high mountains in all parts of the earth and the frozen tundras of the arctic regions exhibit vegetable life under temperature conditions which almost render it impossible, so the arid desert with its centimeters of annual rainfall and its meters of annual evaporation exhibits plant life under conditions of extreme dryness which similarly approach a limit to the very existence of such life. It is thus plausible to suppose that certain fundamental truths regarding the vital activities of plants may be more advantageously studied in the case of organisms existing under these extreme conditions than by confining attention to what are considered the more normal circumstances of life and growth. With the aid of a grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington the writer was able to spend the summer of 1904 at the Desert Botanical Laboratory of that Institution at Tucson, Arizona, in carrying out a series of quantitative studies on desert plants. The results of these studies are embodied in the present paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with the physical and biological characterization of the four North American deserts and a description of the primary adaptations of plants to environmental stress. In the following chapters the authors present case studies of key species representing dominant growth forms of the North American deserts, and provide an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the major patterns of adaptations in desert plants. One chapter is devoted to several important exotic plants that have invaded North American deserts. The book ends with a synthesis of the adaptations and resource requirements of North American desert plants. Further, it addresses how desert plants may respond to global climate change.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries biologists have been extremely interested in the structure of desert plants as examples of natural selection to harsh environmental conditions. Indeed, desert plants are frequently used as examples in many biology classes and textbooks to illustrate natural selection, but this has led to an unfortunate litany of errors and misconceptions about desert plant adaptations. This new synthesis focuses on plants of lowland tropical and subtropical arid deserts. Readers will be surprised to discover that many features commonly ascribed to desert plants are rareley observed in the most common species. Instead, the typical structural adaptations of nonsucculent warm desert plants are now viewed as ways to maximize photosynthetic rate.
