- If you’re a botanist or scientist, the 17 Munsell Plant Tissue Color Charts in this book offer a fast, convenient method for identifying and communicating plant tissue color.
- The color of plant tissue can say a lot about what’s going on in the surrounding ecosystem, including clues about how much light is present, critical temperatures, and the soil’s chemical composition – particularly whether important nutrients are deficient or missing.
- Plant tissue color can also reveal information about the genetic origin of plants, the effect of toxic substances, or the presence of parasitic organisms.
- Munsell Plant Color Charts provide scientists, students, and plant growers with information needed to respond to problems related to taxonomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, and plant nutrition.
