Overview
- Contributions from world-wide experts on bryophyte photosynthetic mechanisms, ecophysiology and terrestrialization processes create a single-source for students and research professionals alike
- Fossil, biogeochemical, systematic and comparative physiological evidence brought together to understand the diversification and biogeochemical implications of the evolution and adaptation of photosynthetic organisms during the terrestrialization of the Earth
- Ecophysiology chapters review critical aspects of bryophyte carbon and water balance as they relate to ecological function and global change
Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration (AIPH, volume 37)

About this book
Reviews
“I recommend this book for researchers in the field of not only bryology but also the evolutionary history of land plants, photosynthesis in non-seed plants, and adaptations to living in extreme environments. Additionally, I recommend this book to libraries at Universities with advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Plant Biology (Botany), Plant Sciences, General Biology, and Biotechnology. For many of us, it can be refreshing to be reminded of the importance and broad utility of organisms besides Arabidopsis.” (Robert R. Wise, Photosynthesis Research, Vol. 127, 2016)
“Photosynthesis in Bryophytes and Early Land Plants is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates. I recommend this well-designed volume for those scientists, or indeed for anyone interested in the current status of bryophyte research.” (Robert R. Wise, Plant Science Bulletin, Vol. 61 (1), 2015)
