Edited Book Title:
Botanical Diversity: Evolution and Adaptation (Volume - 1)
About the Book
Botanical Diversity: Evolution and Adaptation explores the rich variety of plant life and the evolutionary processes that have shaped the vast array of plant species found across the globe. The book examines how plants have evolved and adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, from extreme climates to diverse ecosystems. It discusses the mechanisms of plant evolution, including natural selection, genetic drift and speciation and how these processes have led to the development of unique traits and behaviors in plants. By focusing on both the evolutionary history and adaptive strategies of plants, the book provides valuable insights into plant biology and ecology. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers and anyone interested in the study of plant diversity and evolutionary adaptation.Scope
This book provides an in-depth examination of botanical diversity, focusing on the evolutionary processes and adaptive mechanisms that have shaped plant diversity over time. It covers the origins and diversification of plant life, the adaptation of plants to various environments, and the ecological and evolutionary significance of plant diversity. The book integrates evolutionary biology with plant physiology and ecology to offer a comprehensive understanding of how plants have evolved and adapted to their habitats. It is designed for students, researchers, and professionals in botany, evolutionary biology, and related fields.
