| Description: |
Presents a distillation of the collective efforts and results of the world's Metasequoia specialists and enthusiasts. This book, a comprehensive reference source for the genus, reviews what is known about the biology, ecology and physiology of fossil and living Metasequoia, research directions and problems that remain unresolved. |
| Synopsis: |
The plant fossil record indicates that the genus Metasequoia was widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the early Late Cretaceous to the Plio-Pleistocene. Today the genus has shrunk to one species with approximately 5,000 mature individuals in southeastern China's Xiahoe Valley. This book distills the current understanding of the biology, ecology and physiology of fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and problems that remain unresolved. |
