Download or read book War & Peat written by Ian D. Rotherham and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The themes of this book were addressed at a major international conference in 2013, and the expanded papers are presented here as chapters with an introduction by Ian D. Rotherham. The papers are grouped around several themes: Military Landscapes; Battles and Battlefields; The Impacts of Conflict and War; War & Peat in the Peak District; and Non-military Campaigns. As we approach the centenary of the Great War (WW1), matters of landscape, terrain, resources and strategies become increasingly topical and relevant. The relationships of people and landscapes, of economies and conflicts, and ecology and history, are complex and multi-faceted. For peatlands, including bogs, fens, moors, and heaths, the interactions of people and nature in relation to history and conflicts, are both significant and surprising."--
Book Synopsis 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants by : World Conservation Monitoring Centre
Download or read book 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants written by World Conservation Monitoring Centre and published by IUCN. This book was released on 1998 with total page 934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the most comprehensive compilation of data on threatened vascular plants ever published. It includes the names of some 33,000 plant species determined to be rare or threatened on a global scale. Conservation assessments were provided by the IUCN Species Survival Commission, the National Botanical Institute (South Africa), Environment Australia, and CSIRO, The Nature Conservancy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, together with hundreds of botanic gardens and botanists throughout the world. The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and the New York Botanical Garden have made major in-kind contributions.The result of 20 years work by botanists and conservationists around the world, it is intended as a conservation tool, a provider of baseline information to measure conservation progress and as a primary source of data on plant species. Most importantly, however, it provides the building blocks on which to base a worldwide effort to conserve plant species.

A collaboration between Falklands Conservation and Kew, this guide brings together for the first-time descriptions of all the vascular plants, both native and non-native that have been recorded across the Falkland Islands during its rich botanical history. The guide covers in detail the 181 vascular plants that have been described as native to these islands as well as more than 250 widespread non-native plants, highlighting those that have become invasive and pose a threat to native plants and habitats. The guide is fully illustrated with photographs to enable field identification. Keys to the major groups of plants are included as well as detailed keys for many families including Apiaceae, Astearceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae and Orchidaceae.

Book Synopsis The Biology of Island Floras by : David Bramwell
Download or read book The Biology of Island Floras written by David Bramwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanic islands offer biologists unparalleled opportunities to study evolutionary processes and ecological phenomena. However, human activity threatens to alter or destroy many of these fragile ecosystems, with recent estimates suggesting that nearly half of the world's insular endemics are threatened with extinction. Bringing together researchers from around the world, this book illustrates how modern research methods and new concepts have challenged accepted theories and changed our understanding of island flora. Particular attention is given to the impact of molecular studies and the insights that they provide into topics such as colonisation, radiation, diversification and hybridisation. Examples are drawn from around the world, including the Hawaiian archipelago, Galapagos Islands, Madagascar and the Macronesian region. Conservation issues are also highlighted, with coverage of alien species and the role of ex situ conservation providing valuable information that will aid the formulation of management strategies and genetic rescue programmes.

Book Synopsis Coastal Staphylinidae (Coleoptera): A worldwide checklist, biogeography and natural history by : J. H. Frank
Download or read book Coastal Staphylinidae (Coleoptera): A worldwide checklist, biogeography and natural history written by J. H. Frank and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chapter on Staphylinidae in a 1976 book on marine insects was the last general work on coastal rove beetles worldwide. Since then, phylogenetic studies on rove beetles have yielded a different perspective on that family, now with well over 50,000 species. Almost 400 species of them are now believed to be restricted to sea coasts. The detailed distribution and current classification of the coastal species are here documented in a review of the world literature accompanied by discussion and numerous color photographs of habitus and habitat.
