Marschner's Mineral Nutrition of Plants, 4th Edition
, is divided into two parts: Nutritional Physiology and Plant–Soil Relationships. In Part I, emphasis is put on uptake and transport of nutrients in plants, root–shoot interactions, role of mineral nutrition in yield formation, stress physiology, water relations, functions of mineral nutrients and contribution of plant nutrition to food nutritional quality, disease tolerance, and global nutritional security of human populations. In view of the increasing interest in plant–soil interactions. Part II focuses on the effects of external and internal factors on root growth, rhizosphere chemistry and biology, soil-borne ion toxicities, and nutrient cycling.Now with color figures throughout, this book continues to be a valuable reference for plant and soil scientists and undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of plant nutrition, nutritional physiology, and soil fertility.
- Offers new content on the relationship between climate change, soil fertility and crop nutrition
- Keeps overall structure of previous editions
- Includes updates in every chapter on new developments, ideas and challenges
Plant scientists from the disciplines of plant nutrition, physiology and breeding as well as soil scientists and agronomists with interest in nutrition of plants; advanced undergraduate/graduate students studying plant nutrition and soil fertility.
Further target audiences are professionals involved in food security and climate change research programs.
