Plant architecture is the morphological manifestation of the genetic make-up of a plant at any one stage during its development. Application of accurate architectural models provides a wealth of information about living and extinct plants, especially in regard to growth pattern and development. The Evolution ofPlant Architecture brings together contributions from specialists in many different fields, including ecology, palaeobotany, systematics and evolution.

Please note: This ebook has been specifically designed as an epublication and is optimized for viewing on Thorium Reader. Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ Greening the built environment by integrating plants into architecture has seen vertical and roof gardens flourish in recent decades, and they continue to capture the attention of architects, designers, city planners, and the general public as the threat of climate change and biodiversity loss looms ever larger. But one question remains: how sustainable are each of these various systems? And when all factors are considered, are these gardens really contributing to capturing CO2, and serving as a sustainable outcome for our urban environments, or are the installation of these gardens a subversive form of greenwashing? And ultimately, can plants ever be integrated into architecture in a fully sustainable manner? Plants and Architecture offers critical and insightful comparisons of hundreds of vertical and roof gardens around the world that use various Xeric or selective systems, as well as Hydric or adaptive systems. Plants and Architecture combines over a decade of experimental research and observations of (insert number of projects that are discussed in the eBook), each of which are illustrated with detailed photographs. This eBook utilises real world examples to discuss the potential issues that can arise from the integration of plants into architecture, including the uses of fertiliser, water usage and migration, plant failure, pathogens, metal corrosion, weight considerations, ongoing maintenance costs, fire risk, the use of plastics and the limitations of recycling. Plants and Architecture shows examples from Australia, France, Germany, Vietnam, Peru, Cambodia, Singapore, Philippines, and presents iconic projects like One Central Park Sydney, Bosco Verticale Milan, Musée du Quai Branly Paris, and CH2 Building Melbourne. With 789 photographs and 89 diagrams, 65 projects are presented. Plants and Architecture explores the history of plants and architecture and offers insights as to how plants find their own habitat within the built environment without human intervention, and how this existing method and other techniques can be utilised as a template for sustainable urban gardens.

Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 17 Conventionally, architecture relates to buildings, embracing both art and science, and specifying both form and function. In scope, this closely matches the study of plant architecture. From an artistic perspective, we might marvel at the astonishing diversity of aesthetically pleasing plant structures, yet as scientists we know that, through natural selection, very little of form is dissociated from function. The origins of studies of plant architecture and their influences on human existence are steeped in history, but, from a twenty-first century perspective, the field has been transformed from a discipline of observation and description into one in which complex networks of genetic, chemical and environmental factors can be directly manipulated and modelled. Arguably, manipulation of plant architecture has been one of the greatest mainstays of plant improvement - perhaps second only to the discoveries of the nutritional requirements of plants. With the advent of the ‘gene revolution’, there are countless new opportunities for selective modification of plant architecture. This book provides a broad coverage of our current understanding of plant architecture and its manipulation, ranging from the architecture of the individual cell to that of the whole plant. It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant physiology, developmental biology, molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology.

Plant architecture is a major determinant of the resource use efficiency of crops. The architecture of a plant shows ontogenetic structural changes which are modified by multiple environmental factors: Plant canopies are exposed to natural fluctuations in light quantity and the dynamically changing canopy architecture induces local variations in light quality. Changing temperature conditions or water availability during growth additionally affect plant architecture and thus crop productivity, because plants have various options to adapt their architecture to the available resources. Meeting the challenge of ensuring food security we must understand the plant’s mechanisms for integrating and responding to an orchestra of environmental factors. ‘Virtual plants’ describe plant architecture in silico. Virtual plants have the potential to help us understanding the complex feedback processes between canopy architecture, multiple environmental factors and crop productivity. As a research tool, they have become increasingly popular within the last decade due to their great power of realistically visualizing the plant’s architecture. This Research Topic highlights current research carried out on modeling plant architecture in changing environments.

Plants are so much part of our environment that we often take them for granted, yet beautiful, fascinating and useful plants are everywhere, from isolated moss colonies on stone walls to vast complex communities within tropical rainforests. How did this array of form and habitat come about, and how do we humans interact with the plant kingdom? This unique new textbook provides a refreshing and stimulating consideration of these questions and throws light in a new way on the complexity, ecology, evolution and development of plants and our relationship with them. Illustrated throughout with numerous line diagrams and beautiful colour photographs, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fascinating lives that plants lead and the way in which our lives are inextricably linked to theirs. It will be particularly useful to students seeking a more ecological and process-oriented approach than is available in other plant science textbooks.

This book provides a general presentation of knowledge and methods in mathematical modelling and simulation of individual plants. The chapters mainly describe the algorithms of mathematical modelling, simulation and computer visualization and prospective aspects related to future developments of plant models. The book highlights the concepts coming from different disciplines and their mathematical integration to build robust, calibrated, and realistic integrative modeling solutions. Its original and groundbreaking focus is on the integration of structural and functional modeling for a living system such as a whole plant (or a crop field, a forest): most of the time, it has been believed among modeling practitioners that choices have to be made between the two, this belief no more prevails in the era of integrative (well-conceptually grounded) simulations. The content of this book is sufficient for a non-specialist to understand the fundamentals of mathematical modelling of plant architecture. Readers or even software developers can supplement their knowledge by consulting the book.
