Description of Munsell Plant Tissue Color Book

• If you are a botanist or scientist, the Munsell Plant Tissue Color Charts in this book offer a quick and convenient method for identifying and communicating plant tissue color. The color of plant tissue can say a lot about what is happening in the surrounding ecosystem, including clues about the amount of light present, critical temperatures, and the chemical composition of the soil - especially if important nutrients are deficient or missing. Plant tissue color can also reveal information about the genetic origin of plants, the effects of toxic substances, or the presence of parasitic organisms.
  
  Munsell Plant Color Charts provide scientists, students, and plant breeders with the necessary information to address issues related to taxonomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, and plant nutrition. Accompanying charts help you diagnose unfavorable conditions that are responsible for plant deterioration. Your thumb may be green, but this handy, portable reference book with charts helps ensure that your plant tissue is too! The dimensions of the cover are 6" x 7.75" x 1"; Page size 4 3/8" x 7 1/4"; Weight 1.3 kg.
