Zusammenfassung

Emphasis on interrelationships of growth and development, structure and function, and evolution and ecology

Evolution is emphasized at the molecular, cellular, organismal (as in the evolution of developmental patterns in plants), and plant community levels.
The ecological significance of prokaryotes, fungi, bryophytes (Sphagnum, in particular), and the root systems of plants to the global carbon cycle and global warming is emphasized.

Pedagogical and engaging

Fully illustrated for visual learners
Chapter Outline and Checkpoint Questions guide the students' reading
EndofChapter Summaries as well as Summary Tables help students review the material
