Download or read book CYCADS WORLD ED 2E written by Jones Dl. and published by Smithsonian. This book was released on 2002-09-17 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycads superficially resemble palms and are often misidentified as such. However, cycads are actually a unique assemblage of primitive plants that have been around for at least 250 million years. They have become highly sought after for gardens, both private and public, and their present status as endangered plants has engendered an upsurge of interest in their conservation. With Cycads of the World, David Jones has achieved that difficult task of writing a scientifically accurate text, which is both easy to read and to understand. For this second edition David Jones has added information covering over 100 new species and subspecies of cycads, and updated his material on the 200 species from the first edition. Each entry includes a full description, distribution and habitat information, and a detailed cultivation and propagation guide. Over 360 color photographs plus many other illustrations and maps facilitate easy identification for all living species. This second edition of Cycads of the World makes a fine addition to the library of anyone interested in exotic plants, including gardeners, landscape architects, horticulturalists, botanists, and the curious reader alike.

Book Synopsis CYCADS OF WORLD 1E by : JONES DAVID L
Download or read book CYCADS OF WORLD 1E written by JONES DAVID L and published by Smithsonian. This book was released on 1993-06-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cycads superficially resemble palms and are often misidentified as such. However, cycads are actually a unique assemblage of primitive plants that have been around for at least 250 million years. Because of their great antiquity they have been described as living fossils and the coelacanths of the plant world." "Cycads were an important source of food for the dinosaurs and, despite their toxicity, they have been prepared for food and valued by many cultures. Today they may be regarded as relicts, still widely distributed but diminished in diversity and persisting only in small disjunct communities. They have become highly sought after for gardens, both private and public, and their present status as endangered plants has engendered an upsurge of interest in their conservation." "With Cycads of the World David Jones has achieved that difficult task of writing a scientifically accurate text which is easy both to read and to understand. The book covers all 185 living species in their 11 genera. It has over 250 color photographs, many descriptive line drawings, identification keys, distribution maps, and 16 fine old color engravings previously hidden away in antique volumes. David records the prehistory and history of cycads and their economic importance. He provides detailed information on their cultivation, biology, and propagation. The book will appeal to gardeners, landscape architects, horticulturists, botanists, conservationists, and curious general readers alike."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis The Biology of the Cycads by : Knut Norstog
Download or read book The Biology of the Cycads written by Knut Norstog and published by Comstock Publishing Associates. This book was released on 1997 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly referenced and generously illustrated, this book discusses all aspects of cycadology. A small group of ancient palmlike seed plants noted for their beautiful foliage and often brightly colored cones and seeds, cycads are believed to have been among the first seed-bearing plants. Seed bearing was the basis for their worldwide dominance from about 300 million years ago to about 70 million years ago, when today's familiar flowering plants gained ascendancy. In recent years, interest in cycads has increased, partly as a result of the need for a more complete identification of the range of toxic and carcinogenic substances these plants produce and partly because of the recognition that some compounds from cycads may prove valuable in biomedical research. Many cycads have recently been identified as endangered species, including some that seem to have survived virtually unchanged since the Mesozoic era. Cycads have a specific importance, now at risk of being lost forever, for the information they offer on the origins and evolution of seed plants. Knut J. Norstog and Trevor J. Nicholls discuss cycad anatomy, reproduction, physiology, and growth. They also focus on population biology and the fossil cycadophytes, as well as genera and species from both the Old World and the New World. The Biology of the Cycads is illustrated with numerous maps, diagrams, and drawings, as well as more than 350 photographs, in black and white and in color.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity Conservation and Phylogenetic Systematics by : Roseli Pellens
Download or read book Biodiversity Conservation and Phylogenetic Systematics written by Roseli Pellens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about phylogenetic diversity as an approach to reduce biodiversity losses in this period of mass extinction. Chapters in the first section deal with questions such as the way we value phylogenetic diversity among other criteria for biodiversity conservation; the choice of measures; the loss of phylogenetic diversity with extinction; the importance of organisms that are deeply branched in the tree of life, and the role of relict species. The second section is composed by contributions exploring methodological aspects, such as how to deal with abundance, sampling effort, or conflicting trees in analysis of phylogenetic diversity. The last section is devoted to applications, showing how phylogenetic diversity can be integrated in systematic conservation planning, in EDGE and HEDGE evaluations. This wide coverage makes the book a reference for academics, policy makers and stakeholders dealing with biodiversity conservation.
Book Synopsis Plants in Mesozoic Time by : Carole T. Gee
Download or read book Plants in Mesozoic Time written by Carole T. Gee and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants in Mesozoic Time showcases the latest research of broad botanical and paleontological interest from the world's experts on Mesozoic plant life. Each chapter covers a special aspect of a particular plant group -- ranging from horsetails to ginkgophytes, from cycads to conifers -- and relates it to key innovations in structure, phylogenetic relationships, the Mesozoic flora, or to animals such as plant-eating dinosaurs. The book's geographic scope ranges from Antarctica and Argentina to the western interior of North America, with studies on the reconstruction of the Late Jurassic vegetation of the Morrison Formation and on fossil angiosperm lianas from Late Cretaceous deposits in Utah and New Mexico. The volume also includes cutting-edge studies on the evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo") of Mesozoic forests, the phylogenetic analysis of the still enigmatic bennettitaleans, and the genetic developmental controls of the oldest flowers in the fossil record.
