I need some help with a project involving reconstruction a tropical
ecosystem in the guanacosta regions. I have to develop a plant form
scratch and need some information on form and function of plants native to
that region (costa rica). Some comon questions I need answered are as
follows:
1. What effect does a waxy layer have on water evaporation?
2. What leaf structure would be best in a region 1-2 months dry
3 Root structure for question 2
these are just a few questions I need answered that is why I would like a
book on form and function. Any titles and authors would be appreciated.
