He pioneered new methods for their study and is considered one of the founders of the research field of palynology, which uses fossil pollen and spores from ancient rocks to interpret plant evolution and to reconstruct environments of the past.
Macrophyte responses to disturbance provide a short-term opportunity to document and interpret plant succession and related hydrogeomorphological interactions relative to the long-term, concomitant evolution of river morphology.
These biochemical changes may be interpreted as plant response to UV-B radiation stress and as an indicator of DNA damage.
Therefore, how the auxin signal is perceived and interpreted by plant cells is also a central question in the biology of dormancy.
These include the evolution of an annual life form, and changes in leaf longevity, sclerophylly, leaf size, root depth and root storage, all of which are interpreted by plant physiologists as mechanisms of drought resistance [ 70- 74].
Nitrogen availability exerts strong control of plant biomass partitioning and this response has been interpreted as plants maximising resource capture through allocating resources to the tissue in which the limiting resource is acquired [3].
In particular, in-depth discussion of acetylene decomposition and ethylene formation using this detailed kinetic mechanism combined with thermodynamic method provided a comprehensive understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics interpreting pilot plant experimental data.
Thus, naive and experienced parasitoids differently interpret the plant volatiles emission rhythms to help themselves find their hosts most efficiently.
We discuss the interpretation of individual-year and seasonal plant establishment factors and offer a mechanistic model for interpreting planting date and year effects on initial seedling establishment.
Such plant species tend to be interpreted as competitive plants for pollination, whereas we stress their facilitative ability that may occur on a landscape scale by increasing pollinator densities.
