From the reviews:

"This volume of 'Ecological Studies' helps physiologically oriented scientists to obtain a view of their research at higher scales and/or organizational levels. For the ecologically oriented researchers ... it helps to get insight in mechanisms at a smaller scale and some insight into the extensive progress in molecular-biological research. This book is really worth reading more than once because there are a lot of specific and general aspects that are not found in other books in such a broad perspective." -- Dieter Horlacher, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 164, 2007

"In this book fifteen authors in twelve chapters review various factors influencing nutrient uptake by plants. ... The book is a highly valuable extension of basic textbooks about nutrient acquisition by plants. I would recommend it most strongly to all ecologists who want to read a clear introductory review on each of the announced topics and as a starting source of relevant references." -- Stanislav Brezina, Folia Geobotanica, Vol. 41 (4), 2006logical Studies' helps physiologically oriented scientists to obtain a view of their research at higher scales and/or organizational levels.
