The Role Of Diffusion And Osmotic Pressure In Plants (1903)

The Role of Diffusion and Osmotic Pressure in Plants is a scientific book written by Burton Edward Livingston and published in 1903. The book focuses on the role of diffusion and osmotic pressure in the growth and development of plants. It is divided into two parts, the first part is devoted to the study of diffusion and the second part is concerned with osmotic pressure. In the first part, Livingston describes the process of diffusion and its importance in the growth of plants. He explains the various factors that affect diffusion, including temperature, pressure, and concentration gradients. Livingston also discusses the different types of diffusion, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, and their significance in plant physiology.In the second part, the author focuses on osmotic pressure and its role in plant growth. He explains the concept of osmosis and how it affects the movement of water and nutrients in plants. Livingston also discusses the various factors that affect osmotic pressure, such as temperature, pressure, and solute concentration.Throughout the book, Livingston provides detailed scientific explanations and examples to support his theories. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both students and researchers in the field of plant physiology. The Role of Diffusion and Osmotic Pressure in Plants is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental processes that govern plant growth and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
