This second edition expands and updates the major portions
of Physiology of Woody Plants by Paul J. Kramer and
Theodore T. Kozlowski, pubHshed by Academic Press in
1979. Since that book was published, intensive research has
filled important gaps in our knowledge and altered some of
our basic views on how woody plants grow. We therefore
considered it important to publish a second edition, updating
what is known about the physiology of woody plants.
