With one volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of the plant sciences. The present volume includes reviews on physiology, ecology and vegetation science.

• Plant Ecology
• Plant Genetics
• Plant Physiology
• Plant Systematics

“Lüttge and Beyschlag’s book consists of three parts, two general reviews (Part I), eight articles summarizing specific topics in plant physiology (Part II), and five contributions dealing with plant ecology (Part III). … this volume should be of great interest for botanists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and historians of science.” (Ulrich Kutschera, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 92 (2), June, 2017)
