This book brings together experts from different fields, who use a broad spectrum of methods to investigate the physiological and cellular adaption of alpine plants to the extreme environemts in high altitudes. The combination of high light intensities, with cold freezing temperatures, overlaid by the demand of fast tissue development, flowering and propagation, has been managed by alpine plants but so far not presented in a context of most resent research.
