It gives a unique assemblage of microscopic slides of wood and bark anatomy and demonstrates the reaction of stems to different environments. It provides insight into the evolution of wood, to the variation of wood anatomy in response to climate and disturbances, and it gives an introduction to the methodology used to study wood. Special attention has been given to the unique feature of secondary growth."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-220) and index Notes Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Woody plants -- Anatomy.
