Description

A Dictionary of Plant Sciences by Michael Allaby provides comprehensive coverage of plant sciences, including biochemistry, physiology, ecology, genetics, and more. With over 500 new entries, this fourth edition has been thoroughly revised to include terms such as "Rosales", "physical dormancy", and "codeine". The dictionary also explores the relationships between plants and other organisms, including fungi and bacteria. The book includes numerous appendices, including a plant classification system and timelines showing key moments in plant evolution. For added convenience, vernacular plant names are listed in an appendix, cross-referenced to the A-Z entries. This resource is ideal for students of plant sciences, amateur botanists, and anyone interested in learning more about plants. The dictionary's companion website offers recommended web links and additional resources, making it a valuable guide for those looking to explore the world of plant sciences.
