Organic Xenobiotics and Plants: From Mode of Action to Ecophysiology

In an age where both natural and synthetic substances intersect with ecosystems, enhancing the understanding of these interactions becomes imperative. This work delves into the complexities of organic xenobiotics and their effects on plant life, providing insights into how various chemicals—whether originating from natural sources or introduced by human activity—affect plant health and development. Schröder explores the intricate processes from the molecular level all the way through to the broader ecological implications, offering a comprehensive view of the challenges facing plants in a changing environment.

The author methodically outlines the mode of action of these organic compounds while carefully considering their implications within agri-ecosystems. This exploration of ecophysiology not only highlights the resilience of certain plants in adapting to chemical exposure but also raises awareness of the potential risks posed to biodiversity. Schröder's work serves as an essential resource for researchers and practitioners, guiding them through the delicate balance between agricultural practices and ecological health.
