This book was released on 2005 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to their volcanic history and isolated position in the Atlantic Ocean the Canary Islands became home of an enormous diversity of plants and therefore earned the byname "the Galapagos of botany". El Hierro is the youngest, smallest and southwesternmost Canary Island. Its unique geological history, the remarkable mountain relief and the climatic contrasts create proper conditions for an extraordinarily diverse vegetation and hence offers ideal prerequisites for geobotanical investigations. After an exhaustive introduction with information on geology, soils, climate and the human influence, all vegetation types of the study area are presented. Beginning with the most natural forest communities, the study also reports on the substitute communities such as the various scrubs, pastures and finally the ruderal vegetation. A portrait of every single community is drawn, with information on the altitudinal and horizontal distribution, the habitat, successional stage, and anthropogenic influences. All these data may serve as a valuable base for conservation efforts. El Hierro indeed deserves its status as a Biosphere Reserve of the UNESCO, which it was awarded in 2000. Hopefully, this study will encourage conservationists to continue their endeavours to preserve the remains of natural vegetation and the endangered endemic plants of El Hierro

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volcanic and oceanic nature of the Canary Islands, its rich plant biodiversity and high rate of endemism, as well as the relict character of some of its plant communities make it a territory of great biological interest. The main geographic, climatic, bioclimatic, biogeographic and floristic features of the Islands are shown and related to the distributional pattern of potential communities along an altitudinal gradient. Current vegetation units and their ecology are described and illustrated with numerous pictures. Potential vegetation units are summarized and comprehensive maps of the potential natural vegetation for each island are given. Human impact on the natural landscape, the occurrence of invasive plants, and the probable impact of climate change on the flora and vegetation are discussed. The conservation status of flora and vegetation are assessed. Four appendixes include a syntaxonomical scheme, a brief history of botanical studies and explorations in the Islands, ethnobotanical notes, and a list of selected literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People experience disasters very differently. Conflicts about a »correct« interpretation of the risks might arise. The side-by-side of different truths lead to people seeing mismanagement and disinformation. The volcanic crisis of El Hierro shows how rivalling interpretations amongst affected islanders, the media, sciences, and disaster response institutions cause great social tensions and scepticism towards scientific information. Thus, to fully understand disaster risk, the focus must shift to the rifts between established convictions and the individuals' creativity to overcome them, taking into account their embeddedness in various fields of practice, each with their own rationales and ruptures.

Book excerpt: With changes in technology and a renewed effort to catalog the world's biodiversity, huge amounts of data are being generated on biodiversity issues. As response to the call for better information systems to manage the biodiversity crisis, a wide range of solutions are being developed for inventorying, managing, and disseminating taxonomic data. This book brings together a diverse array of authors, expertise, and assessors that discuss technical developments to improve the construction, population, and dissemination of biodiversity information. It is designed to inform students and researchers of biodiversity about the changes and challenges that need to be understood by everyone in this information age.
