  • Plant and Vegetation Mapping

    by Franco Pedrotti ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The book is concerned principally with geobotanical mapping. Geobotany is a broad science that deals with the study of species and of vegetation communities in relation to the environment; it includes other, perhaps more familiar sciences, such as plant geography, plant ecology, and chorology, and phytosociology (plant sociology).Geobotanical cartography is a field of thematic cartography that ...

  • Geographical Changes in Vegetation and Plant Functional Types

    Edited by Andrew M. Greller, Kazue Fujiwara, Franco Pedrotti ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book presents studies on current vegetation topics, from polar to tropical regions. It is a festschrift to mark the 70th birthday of Prof. Elgene O. Box, who has studied vegetation all over the world, both through fieldwork and modeling. It reflects a number of his interests, including basic ecological plant forms (cf ‘plant functional types’), temperate-zone forests, and evergreen versus ... Read more

  • Climate Gradients and Biodiversity in Mountains of Italy

    Edited by Franco Pedrotti ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This volume gathers case studies on plant diversity from selected, representative mountain systems of Italy (Mediterranean and temperate zones), while also addressing the biodiversity of avian fauna. For the Alps, Wilhalm and Prosser examine the species biodiversity (also with the help of highly detailed location maps) of the sector of the central Alps that corresponds to the basin of the Adige, ...

  • Second Growth

    The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation

    by Robin L. Chazdon ...
    For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second ... Read more

  • Why Birds Matter

    Avian Ecological Function and Ecosystem Services

    Edited by Çagan H. Sekercioglu, Daniel G. Wenny, Christopher J. Whelan ...
    For over one hundred years, ornithologists and amateur birders have jointly campaigned for the conservation of bird species, documenting not only birds' beauty and extraordinary diversity, but also their importance to ecosystems worldwide. But while these avian enthusiasts have noted that birds eat fruit, carrion, and pests; spread seed and fertilizer; and pollinate plants, among other services, ... Read more

  • The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event

    Edited by Florentin Paris, Barry Webby, Mary Droser, Ian Percival ...
    Series series The Critical Moments and Perspectives in Earth History and Paleobiology
    Two of the greatest evolutionary events in the history of life on Earth occurred during Early Paleozoic time. The first was the Cambrian explosion of skeletonized marine animals about 540 million years ago. The second was the "Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event," which is the focus of this book. During the 46-million-year Ordovician Period (489–443 m.y.), a bewildering array of adaptive ... Read more

  • Vegetation Structure and Function at Multiple Spatial, Temporal and Conceptual Scales

    Edited by Elgene Owen Box ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This commemorative volume of invited papers in vegetation science covers a full range of topics, objectives, methods and applications, including conservation and management tasks. These require study at different temporal and spatial scales, often simultaneously. Methodology is important in science, since it responds to particular questions and raises others. It is also closely related to the ... Read more

  • Warm-Temperate Deciduous Forests around the Northern Hemisphere

    Edited by Elgene O. Box, Kazue Fujiwara ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Warm-temperate deciduous forests are "southern", mainly oak-dominated deciduous forests, as found over the warmer southern parts of the temperate deciduous forest regions of East Asia, Europe and eastern North America. Climatic analysis has shown that these forests extend from typical temperate climates to well into the warm-temperate zone, in areas where winters are a bit too cold for the ‘zonal’ ... Read more

  • Freshwater Fishes

    250 Million Years of Evolutionary History

    by Lionel Cavin ...
    With more than 15,000 species, nearly a quarter of the total number of vertebrate species on Earth, freshwater fishes are extremely varied. They include the largest fish species, the beluga at over 7 meters long, and the smallest, the Paedocypris at just 8 millimeters, as well as the carnivorous, such as the piranha, and the calm, such as the Chinese algae eater. Certain species evolve rapidly, ... Read more
