Salisbury F.B. (Ed.) Units, Symbols, and Terminology for Plant Physiology. A Reference for Presentation of Research Results in the Plant Sciences

New York: Oxford University Press, 1996. — 234 p.
ISBN 0-19-509445-X.This book is designed to be a reference source for plant physiologists and other plant scientists who are preparing their research results for publication or other presentation. The primary goal is to provide information about the use of units, symbols, and terminology in the plant sciences, especially plant physiology. In addition, the authors also provide some hints and instructions about writing and the preparation of posters and slide presentations for scientific meetings, including a format for presentation of growth-chamber data.Contents:
