Trends in European Forest Tree Physiology Research : Cost Action E6: EUROSILVA / edited by Satu Huttunen, Hannele Heikkilä, Jürg Bucher, Björn Sundberg, Paul Jarvis, Rainer Matyssek.

This publication presents an overview of the current interests in tree physiology research within the European tree physiology EUROSILVA network, which has been going on since 1986. The last phase, entitled COST Action E 6: EUROSILVA Forest Tree Physiology Research, was accomplished during the perio...
