Summary
Plants play a critical role in how we experience our environment. They create calming green spaces, provide oxygen for us to breathe, and nourish our senses. In The Nature of Plants, ecologist and nursery owner Craig Huegel demystifies the complex lives of plants and provides listeners with an extensive tour into their workings.
Beginning with the importance of light, water, and soil, Huegel describes the process of photosynthesis and how best to position plants to receive optimal sunlight. He explains why plants suffer from overwatering, what essential elements plants need to flourish, and what important soil organisms reside with them. Listeners will understand the difference between friendly and hostile bacteria, fungi, and insects.
Sections on plant structure and reproduction focus in detail on major plant organs - roots, stems, and leaves-and cover flowering, pollination, fruit development, and seed germination. Huegel even delves into the mysterious world of plant communication, exploring the messages conveyed to animals or other plants through chemical scents and hormones.

Importante !
Una lectura necesaria para cualquiera que se quiera adentrar al mundo de las plantas, una mirada sencilla y a la vez profunda de la vida vegetal yendo de lo clásico y bien Sabino hasta conocimientos bastantes nuevos.
Disfrute mucho de este libro y creo que lo volveré a oír pronto .

An invaluable plant science audio book.
The pitch of scientific detail was perfect. Enough to gain a good understanding of plant life but not too heavy.
