Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vegetation of a Desert Mountain Range as Conditioned by Climatic Factors The Santa Catalina Mountains are thus seen to stand at the south western terminus of a series of isolated elevations which stretch away from the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The valley of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, several undrained basins, and the valley of the Little Colorado combine to separate the entire chain of elevations - San Francisco Mountains, Mogollon Mesa, White Moun tains, and the mountains of western New Mexico - from the Sangre de Cristo, San Juan, and J emez mountains of northern New Mexico, which are Virtually a part of the Rocky Mountain system. A consider able degree of isolation from the north is thus given to the entire series of mountains in southeastern Arizona.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forrest Shreve (1878-1950) was an internationally known plant ecologist who spent most of his career at the Carnegie Institution's Desert Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona. Shreve's contributions to the study of plant ecology laid the groundwork for modern studies and several of his works came to be regarded as classics by ecologists worldwide. This first full-length study of Shreve's life and work demonstrates that he was more than a desert ecologist. His early work in Maryland and Jamaica gave him a breadth of expertise matched by few of his ecological contemporaries, and his studies of desert plant demography, the physiological ecology of rain-forest plants, and vegetational gradients on southwestern mountain ranges anticipated by decades recent trends in ecology. Tracing Shreve's development from student to scientist, Bowers evokes the rigors and delights of fieldwork in the first half of this century and shows how Shreve's sense of place informed his scientific thoughtÑmaking him, in his own words, "not an exile from some better place, but a man at home in an environment to which his life can be adjusted without physical or intellectual loss."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to do field biology in a world that exalts experiments and laboratories? How have field biologists assimilated laboratory values and practices, and crafted an exact, quantitative science without losing their naturalist souls? In Landscapes and Labscapes, Robert E. Kohler explores the people, places, and practices of field biology in the United States from the 1890s to the 1950s. He takes readers into the fields and forests where field biologists learned to count and measure nature and to read the imperfect records of "nature's experiments." He shows how field researchers use nature's particularities to develop "practices of place" that achieve in nature what laboratory researchers can only do with simplified experiments. Using historical frontiers as models, Kohler shows how biologists created vigorous new border sciences of ecology and evolutionary biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Biogeography provides facsimile reprints of seventy-two works that have proven fundamental to the development of the field. From classics by Georges-Louis LeClerc Compte de Buffon, Alexander von Humboldt, and Charles Darwin to equally seminal contributions by Ernst Mayr, Robert MacArthur, and E. O. Wilson, these papers and book excerpts not only reveal biogeography's historical roots but also trace its theoretical and empirical development. Selected and introduced by leading biogeographers, the articles cover a wide variety of taxonomic groups, habitat types, and geographic regions. Foundations of Biogeography will be an ideal introduction to the field for beginning students and an essential reference for established scholars of biogeography, ecology, and evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wildland Shrubs, Their Biology and Utilization: An International Symposium, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, July 1971 In the past, arid and semiarid regions were defined on the basis of climatic factors alone (koppen 1923; Mathews 1931; Lang 1920; de Martonne 1905; Thornthwaite 1948; Transeau 1905; Emberger 1930; Gorczynski 1943; Stenz 1946; Boyko accord ingly, dpen's world map included Thar and Rajasthan under desert climate and the surrounding portion that extends up to Cutch and Gujarat, and certain parts of Madras are included under Steppe climate. However, since vegetation is the result of the response of plants to many variables of the climatic factors, no single factor can characterize deserts or arid and semiarid regions. Pramanik, Hariharan, and Ghose (1952) defined deserts or arid regions of India as areas having rainfall of 10 inches or less and a mean annual diurnal temperature range of 24° F. Or more; they defined semiarid regions as areas having rainfall ranging from 10 to 20 inches and an annual diurnal temperature range of 18° F. Or more. However, a correlation of climate and vegetation led Bharucha (1955) to retain as the limit of the arid zone the 10 inches isohyet, while the limit of the semiarid zone at the 30 inches isohyet. On the basis of these criteria as well as those of Thornthwaite the areas of arid and semi arid zones in India total sq. Km. And sq. Km respectively (table this excludes the cold desert of Jammu and Kashmir State, which contains sq. Km. Of arid and sq. Km. Of semiarid areas (krishnan Figure 1 gives the distribution and delimitation of these zones. In the North, next to Rajasthan, Gujarat has the largest area within the arid zone. In South India, the arid region is mainly confined to a portion of Rayalaseema region in Andhra Pradesh (fig. 1) and adjoining parts of Mysore. Of the semiarid zone, 59 percent is situated in peninsular India. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Oregon and Washington, the heart of this region, encompass wet coast al and dry interior mountain ranges, miles of coastline, interior valleys and basins, and high desert plateau (fig. Moisture, temperature, and substrate vary greatly. Natural vegetation types range from dense coastal forests of tow ering conifers through woodland and savanna to shrub steppe.

Book excerpt: Usually authors write introductions for their books, although they know that not many readers will read it. Despite this, authors insist on writing an introduction and no publisher will publish a book without one. I would like to inform my dear readers that I have spent almost all of the first quarter of my life in a village in the Nile Delta, 65 km north of Cairo. The everyday scenery there was the beautiful green landscape dissected with canals full of running water. All of these were bordered with the huge sycamore, mulberry and acacia trees. The desert was something unknown to me at that time, except for the very basic information given in geography books, which explained that the desert is a place without water or cultiva tion. Some of my ideas about the desert came to me from the stories in the history of Islam and the desert lands where Islam originated. My real attraction to the desert developed in the last year of my under graduate studies. This was during the field courses in Ecology (Prof. A.M.

This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steppes form one of the largest biomes. Drastic changes in steppe ecology, land use and livelihoods came with the emergence, and again with the collapse, of communist states. Excessive ploughing and vast influx of people into the steppe zone led to a strong decline in nomadic pastoralism in the Soviet Union and China and in severely degraded steppe ecosystems. In Mongolia nomadic pastoralism persisted, but steppes degraded because of strongly increased livestock loads. After the Soviet collapse steppes regenerated on huge tracts of fallow land. Presently, new, restorative steppe land management schemes are applied. On top of all these changes come strong effects of climate change in the northern part of the steppe zone. This book gives an up-to-date overview of changes in ecology, climate and use of the entire Eurasian steppe area and their effects on livelihoods of steppe people. It integrates knowledge that so far was available only in a spectrum of locally used languages.

Book excerpt: This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively revised, restructured, and updated edition continues to present an engaging and comprehensive introduction to the subject, exploring the world’s landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the basics of Earth surface forms and processes, while reflecting on the latest developments in the field. Fundamentals of Geomorphology begins with a consideration of the nature of geomorphology, process and form, history, and geomorphic systems, and moves on to discuss: structure: structural landforms associated with plate tectonics and those associated with volcanoes, impact craters, and folds, faults, and joints process and form: landforms resulting from, or influenced by, the exogenic agencies of weathering, running water, flowing ice and meltwater, ground ice and frost, the wind, and the sea; landforms developed on limestone; and landscape evolution, a discussion of ancient landforms, including palaeosurfaces, stagnant landscape features, and evolutionary aspects of landscape change. This third edition has been fully updated to include a clearer initial explanation of the nature of geomorphology, of land surface process and form, and of land-surface change over different timescales. The text has been restructured to incorporate information on geomorphic materials and processes at more suitable points in the book. Finally, historical geomorphology has been integrated throughout the text to reflect the importance of history in all aspects of geomorphology. Fundamentals of Geomorphology provides a stimulating and innovative perspective on the key topics and debates within the field of geomorphology. Written in an accessible and lively manner, it includes guides to further reading, chapter summaries, and an extensive glossary of key terms. The book is also illustrated throughout with over 200 informative diagrams and attractive photographs, all in colour.
