The first book to chronicle how innovation in laboratory designs for botanical research energized the emergence of physiological plant ecology as a vibrant subdiscipline
 
Laboratory innovation since the mid-twentieth century has powered advances in the study of plant adaptation, evolution, and ecosystem function. The phytotron, an integrated complex of controlled-environment greenhouse and laboratory spaces, invented by Frits W. Went in the 1950s, set off a worldwide laboratory movement and transformed the plant sciences. Sharon Kingsland explores this revolution through a comparative study of work in the United States, France, Australia, Israel, the USSR, and Hungary.
 
These advances in botanical research energized physiological plant ecology. Case studies explore the development of phytotron spinoffs such as mobile laboratories, rhizotrons, and ecotrons. Scientific problems include the significance of plant emissions of volatile organic compounds, symbiosis between plants and soil fungi, and the discovery of new pathways for photosynthesis as an adaptation to hot, dry climates. The advancement of knowledge through synthesis is a running theme: linking disciplines, combining laboratory and field research, and moving across ecological scales from leaf to ecosystem. The book also charts the history of modern scientific responses to the emerging crisis of food insecurity in the era of global warming.

Recenzijos

One of the strengths of this pathbreaking book is the way Kingsland points to interesting questions about the history of plant physiological ecology and its relevance for global ecology. She makes a compelling case that understanding the interactions of plants with the environment is crucial for meeting the challenges of global climate change.Joel B. Hagen, Journal of the History of Biology

Sharon Kingsland has provided a brilliant, incisive, and wonderfully original account of the development of our understanding of plant evolution in a physiological context.Peter Raven, author of Driven by Nature: A Personal Journey from Shanghai to Botany and Global Sustainability

An exceptionally thorough, readable and enjoyable study of plant sciences embrace of the phytotron, unpacking its significance in the making of physiological ecology.Dominic Berry, coeditor of Narrative Science: Reasoning, Representing and Knowing since 1800

A unique and wide-ranging history of the excitement, high expectations, big science, and interdisciplinary research in plant physiological ecology in the postWorld War II era, which were kick-started by the development of the phytotron.E. A. Johnson, University of Calgary

An engaging narrative through historians eyes of the emergence of plant ecophysiologyan interplay of ideas, of careers and ambitions, and of phytotrons bringing people and disciplines together.Mark Westoby, Macquarie University

Sharon Kingsland is professor emerita in the Department of History of Science and Technology at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of two previous books and has coedited two essay collections. She lives in Baltimore, MD.
