THE SECRET OF PLANTS IN ENVIRONMENT by RISHIKESH UPADHYAY

"All human affairs follow nature’s great analogue, the growth of vegetation." -Henry Ward Beecher, “Life Thoughts” Well, this is a common knowledge that plant is the basis of all life on the Earth and the starting point of all ecosystems but do we really understand how these sessile organisms cope with different environments? Or how do they respond to temperature fluctuations, chemical agents, light, magnetic fields and so on? After en extensive research, the author puts forth an assemblage of pertinent information to help the readers gain a finer understanding of the world of flora. He attempts to connect the dots between the human race, plants and the environment. If you are a sustainability enthusiast or interested in botany, this is a great read. Although a basic knowledge of botany might be advantageous in the process of absorbing this great deal of knowledge, but it can also be a good start for beginners.
