This book describes important anatomical adaptations in halophytes, based on a large review of relevant literature (since the 17th century) and recent research findings. Scientists involved in the study of plant biology, from a molecular to ecosystemic level, will find information about all major structural strategies of salt tolerant plants. The book starts with an introductory theoretical background, where several aspects related to the definition and classificati...

The single monograph existing worldwide regarding salt-secreting structures in halophytes. Based on integrative anatomy approach, this book is an excellent review of secretory structures in halophytes, including 250 figures and almost 400 bibliographic inputs. Coming with an English abstract.

A short introduction in the field of saline environments and salt tolerant plants or plants susceptible to be salt tolerant, growing in Romania. Some species are accompanied by short ecological descriptions.

The Halophytology intends to be a new approach in the field of botanical sciences. This holistic approach is the study of plants adaptations in relation to saline environments. The integrative anatomy is described in this book as the tendency to integrate harmoniously anatomical structures with ecological, functional , adaptive or even phylogenetic values in halophytes. The author' intention is to integrate structure with function and to provide complex explanations of s...

An original book focused on the anatomical features in halophytes from Romania. A very good tool for understanding the ecological value of adaptations in plants vegetating on saline habitats. It comprises 500 original photos taken on light microscope - all being original contribution. Coming with an English abstract.

"Most of water on the earth is salty and yet most of the land is not. Over the millennia, salts have been washed from rocks and soils into the oceans where they have accumulated. Where the oceans meet the land then saline areas can form that have an unusual flora, one that tolerates salt concentrations lethal to most of our plant species. These salt-tolerant plants are called halophytes. Halophytes were recognised in the late 1700s, but it took a further hundred years or...

A good tool for introducing in study of halophytes and saline environments.
