Planternes biologi

Vidste du, at træer kan påvirke jordens rotation? Eller at ulve kan ændre, hvordan floder løber? Eller at regnorme kontrollerer vildsvinepopulationen? Naturen består af et net af komplicerede forbindelser, og langt de fleste af dem lægger vi mennesker ikke mærke til. Men det er disse forbindelser, der holder naturens fine balance ved lige. Med udgangspunkt i de nyeste videnskabelige opdagelser og sine egne mange års erfaring som skovfoged viser Peter Wohlleben os, hvordan forskellige dyr, planter, floder, sten og vejrsystemer arbejder sammen, og hvad der er på spil, hvis disse delikate systemer kommer ud af balance. Jordens økosystemer er for komplekse til, at vi kan putte dem i kasser og formulere simple regler for årsag og virkning, men ”Naturens hemmelige netværk” giver os en chance for at få et indblik i naturens indre systemer og uventede makkerskaber. Og jo mere lys, der bliver kastet på forholdet mellem arterne, jo mere fascinerende bliver naturens hemmelige netværk.

Ukrudt er planter, som med deres utrolige egenskaber og sammenspil med vores insekt- og dyreliv er en kilde til glæde, oplevelser, biodiversitet og liv i haven. Ukrudt er også traditionelt planter, der er uønskede, og som igennem mange år er blevet bekæmpet og luget væk. Men hver en ukrudtsplante har sin egen historie, og vores syn på, hvilke planter der er uønskede er så småt ved at ændre sig. I denne bog har forfatteren samlet 50 af de mest interessante ukrudtsarter og fortæller planternes historie. Alle fortællingerne er smukt illustreret med de klassiske og unikke Flora Danica-tegninger.

Theory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences on islands, recent island-mainland comparisons have yielded mixed results, with some studies finding no differences between islands and mainlands or, surprisingly, higher herbivory and plant defences on islands. In this book, the authors aim to re-assess current theory and initiate a new generation of work on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. This book aims to fill the research gaps by integrating the research that has been done to date and by compiling and summarising new research on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. It provides a critical examinationof the patterns in light of classical theory and identifies potential mechanisms or underlying processes. It also aims to raise new questions that will form the basis for a revised and more robust research programme.

Since the publication of the first edition of "e;The Mycota Vol. V - Plant Relationships"e; in 1997, tremendous advances in fungal molecular biology and biochemistry have taken place; and both light and electron microscopical techniques have improved considerably. These new insights led to a better understanding of the relationships between fungi and plants; and a completely revised new edition of Plant Relationships could be produced, providing an up-to-date overview on mutualistic and pathogenic interactions.In 18 chapters internationally acknowledged authors present reviews on fungal lifestyles, mechanisms of their interactions with their host plants, signal perception and transduction, and plant defense responses directed against attack by fungal pathogens.Highlighting the recent developments in fungus-plant interactions, this volume is indispensable for researchers, lecturers and students in microbiology, mycology and plant sciences, including plant pathology.

In this book, leading researchers from this field systematically explain the latest research results on anaerobic responses in plants. The book is characterized by its in-depth coverage of the tolerance functions of plants under hypoxic conditions from a variety of perspectives, with a particular focus on research areas related to molecular biology and genetics. Although drought responses have dominated water stress research in the past, recent floods and attempts to introduce new cropping systems have made it necessary to take measures against excessive water stress injury, and systematic research is needed for this purpose. From this point of view, the approach taken in this book is new and interesting in that it covers basic research and adaptation technologies in the field, and can be applied to various different situations. The focus of this book is how plants can adapt to poor environments and improve productivity under the conditions of soil hypoxia caused by excess water, such as heavy rains and typhoons. From this point of view, the reader will be able to understand the various adaptations of plants to climate change, which will clarify the future directions of research and show the possibility of applying the knowledge and techniques gained in this book to the field.The Sixth Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2021) warns that global warming will proceed faster than previously assumed and that all regions of the world will face increasing changes. ¿Climate Resilient Development¿ has been proposed as a key phrase to combat global warming, and it is important to identify the adaptive capacity of plants and improve it where possible. In this regard, the publication of this book, which includes ideas for mitigating flood damage caused by global warming, is extremely important, timely, and rational.
