Responses of Macrophytes to Temperature

  • Chapter
Physiological Plant Ecology I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((920,volume 12 / A))

Abstract

Temperature is a major factor determining the natural distribution of plants, and the success and timing of agricultural crops. Habitats occupied by plants show dramatic differences in temperature during the period of active growth, ranging from just above freezing in polar or alpine areas to over 50 °C in the hottest deserts. Moreover, in many habitats the same individual plant is subjected to wide seasonal variations in temperature and even diurnal temperature fluctuations may be considerable.
