Environmental Pollution and Plant Responses

This comprehensive book presents and analyzes the most current research on the causal factors contributing to the deteriorating environmental quality and its effect on plant performance. The problems include: environmental pollution and global climate change, response patterns of plants at different levels, mechanisms of interaction, tolerance strategies and future research prospects.

S. B. Agrawal, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences of Allahabad Agricultural Institute, Allahabad Madhoolika Agrawal, Ph.D., is an associate professor of Botany at Banaras Hindu University
