In this translation of the French edition
(L'U. de Saint-'etienne, 1999), the author treats the interrelated factors
that inform plants' adaptations to their environments. Applying
ecophysiological principles to identify mechanisms of dysfunction in
ecosystems, he presents data-based cases for: less stressful growing methods
(e.g., using cultivars that require less water and polluting fertilizers);
confining genetically modified organisms to the lab; and reality-based
holistic studies.
