Book Synopsis The Climate of the Rupununi Savannas by : David Brice Frost
Download or read book The Climate of the Rupununi Savannas written by David Brice Frost and published by McGill University. This book was released on 1967 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate of the Rupununi savannas is closely examined with particular reference to the effects on moisture conditions of the wet and dry seasons. Two areas are selected where the forest savanna boundary might be climatically controlled. The first is the windward side of the Kanuku Mountains and the other the lee of the Pakaraima Mountains. At the foot of the Kanuku Mountains forest vegetation displays a tendency to extend onto the level savanna surface while savanna tends to extend into the mountains of the Pakaraimas. It was therefore anticipated that the first area would be wetter and the second area dryer than the open savanna. Although the former rainfall is only slightly greater, it is shown from a study of the water balance that the area has only half of the moisture deficit experienced by the savannas during the dry season. It is also demonstrated that in the lee of the Pakaraimas rainfall is so reduced that soil moisture recharge may only rarely be complete. In this instance the aridity is markedly greater than in the savannas. A similar situation seems to exist in the lee of the Kanuku Mountains but is not proved. It is concluded that the uncharacteristic location of the forest savanna boundary in both of these areas is largely due to the differences in the moisture regime caused by the changes in climate.

Book Synopsis Biodiversity and Savanna Ecosystem Processes by : Otto T. Solbrig
Download or read book Biodiversity and Savanna Ecosystem Processes written by Otto T. Solbrig and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savannas are the most widespread ecosystem in the tropics and as such are subjected to great human pressure that may result in massive soil degradation. The book addresses the role of species in the function of savanna ecosystems. It is shown that savannas are enormously diverse and that four factors determine the function of savanna ecosystems: Plant Available Moisture; Plant Available Nutrients; Fire; Herbivores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More often than not, when people think of a neotropical forest, what comes to mind is a rain forest, rather than a dry forest. Just as typically, when they imagine a savanna, they visualize the African plains, rather than those dry woodlands and grasslands found in the Neotropics. These same preconceptions can be found among scientists, as these ne
Book Synopsis Savanna Woody Plants and Large Herbivores by : Peter Frank Scogings
Download or read book Savanna Woody Plants and Large Herbivores written by Peter Frank Scogings and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insights on current research and recent developments in understanding global savanna systems Increasingly recognized as synonymous with tropical grassy biomes, savannas are found in tropical and sub-tropical climates as well as warm, temperate regions of North America. Savanna Woody Plants and Large Herbivores examines the interactions between woody plants and browsing mammals in global savannas—focusing primarily on the C4 grassy ecosystems with woody components that constitute the majority of global savannas—and discusses contemporary savanna management models and applications. This much-needed addition to current research examines topics including the varying behavior of browsing mammals, the response to browsing by woody species, and the factors that inhibit forage intake. Contributions from an international team of active researchers and experts compare and contrast different savanna ecosystems, offering a global perspective on savanna functioning, the roles of soil and climate in resource availability and organism interaction, and the possible impacts of climate change across global savannas. Fills a gap in literature on savanna management issues, including biodiversity conservation and animal production Applies concepts developed in other biomes to future savanna research Complements contemporary books on savanna or large herbivore ecology Focuses on the woody component of savanna ecosystems and large herbivore interactions in savannas Compares tree-mammal systems of savannas and other eco-systems of temperate and boreal regions Provides numerous case studies of plant-mammal interactions from various savanna ecosystems Savanna Woody Plants and Large Herbivores is a valuable addition to those in fields such as ecology, wildlife and conservation biology, natural resource management, and environmental science.

Book Synopsis Geomorphic Evolution of the Northern Rupununi Basin, Guyana by : N. K. P. Sinha
Download or read book Geomorphic Evolution of the Northern Rupununi Basin, Guyana written by N. K. P. Sinha and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region described is located on the Amazon-Essiquibo divide and forms a tectonic depression in the heart of the Guiana Shield. The major physical aspects, including geology, tectonics, climate, geomorphic processes, drainage and relief conditions are mapped and analyzed. The surficial deposits of the area are identified and mapped and their origin postulated. Special attention is given to the evolution of laterites and laterite landforms. It is suggested that dissection of the laterite plateau and lowering of local base-level in early- and mid-Pleistocene times resulted in a change of vegetation from former forest to the present savanna. The significance of terrace and dune sands, cobbles and boulders of various rock-types, climatic and vegetative changes during the Pleistocene, and erosion surfaces, are evaluated as factors in the evolution of the present northern Rupununi landscape.
