Book Synopsis Plant Life of Kentucky by : Ronald Jones
Download or read book Plant Life of Kentucky written by Ronald Jones and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-03-25 with total page 854 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Life of Kentucky is the first comprehensive guide to all the ferns, flowering herbs, and woody plants of the state. This long-awaited work provides identification keys for Kentucky’s 2,600 native and naturalized vascular plants, with notes on wildlife/human uses, poisonous plants, and medicinal herbs. The common name, flowering period, habitat, distribution, rarity, and wetland status are given for each species, and about 80 percent are illustrated with line drawings. The inclusion of 250 additional species from outside the state (these species are “to be expected” in Kentucky) broadens the regional coverage, and most plants occurring from northern Alabama to southern Ohio to the Mississippi River (an area of wide similarity in flora) are examined, including nearly all the plants of western and central Tennessee. The author also describes prehistoric and historical changes in the flora, natural regions and plant communities, significant botanists, current threats to plant life, and a plan for future studies. Plant Life of Kentucky is intended as a research tool for professionals in biology and related fields, and as a resource for students, amateur naturalists, and others interested in understanding and preserving our rich botanical heritage.

Book Synopsis Native Trees of Kentucky by : Sarah Webb Maury
Download or read book Native Trees of Kentucky written by Sarah Webb Maury and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native Trees of Kentucky: A Handbook There are few problems of more economic importance to the State of Kentucky at the present time than an adequate forest policy. Believing that, if the people of the State could be brought to a realization of the fact, that few regions of the world have a greater number of merchantable species of trees than Kentucky, they would establish and support such a forest policy, this volume descriptive of the State trees has been prepared. The term "tree" has been given, regardless of size, to every woody plant which produces one main stem, bearing a definite crown; this feature distinguishes trees from shrubs which have many stems growing from the same roots. Although any systematic arrangement of trees necessitates the use of botanical names, an effort has been made to use the smallest possible number, in order that the book may appeal to all persons interested in the forest conditions of the State. The sequence of families follows the order advocated by Engler and Prantl, the renowned German botanists, and the nomenclature is adopted from "The Check List of Forest Trees in the United States." Bulletin 17 - Forest Service. For convenience, a list of the common names of the trees, native and naturalized in Kentucky has been added. The manuscript was offered to the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs for publication of an unlimited first edition, provided the books were distributed free to the people of the State. This offer was accepted at the Annual Meeting in Owensboro, June, 1909. Before going to press the manuscript was checked up by Mr. George B. Sudworth, Dendrologist of Forest Service; Dr. Hermann Von Schrenk, of St. Louis, and Mr. J. B. Atkinson, of Earlington, Ky. The illustrations are from photographs given by Forest Service, Washington, D. C.; Prof. C. J. Norwood, Director of Kentucky Geological Survey; Mr. J. B. Atkinson, of Earlington, Ky.; Dr. Henry Chandler Cowles, of the University of Chicago, and from those made under the supervision of the Author.

Book excerpt: The Red River Gorge's intricate canyon system features an abundance of high sandstone cliffs, rock shelters, waterfalls, and natural bridges, making it one of the world's top rock-climbing destinations. The Gorge, known for its unspoiled scenic beauty and numerous hiking trails, is one of Kentucky's most popular natural destinations, attracting over 500,000 visitors a year. While books about hiking, climbing, and other recreational activities in the area are readily available, Wildflowers and Ferns of Red River Gorge is the first book specifically devoted to the biodiversity of the Gorge and its watershed. Authors Dan and Judy Dourson introduce the geology and cultural history of the gorge but focus on the incredible diversity of both common and rare flora of this unique ecosystem. With over 1,000 color images and numerous illustrations covering over 1,500 species currently known to exist in the watershed, Wildflowers and Ferns of Red River Gorge is designed to be accessible to the casual hiker and of use to the seasoned naturalist. Rare and endangered species are highlighted as well as a few other important, but often ignored, non-flowering plant groups, including green algae, fungi, slime molds, lichens, and mosses. In addition, a small section on flowering woody vines, shrubs, and trees is included, making the book the most comprehensive natural guide to one of Kentucky's most well-known natural recreational areas.

Over half a million visitors each year are drawn to its scenic beauty, abundant hiking trails, and exceptional rock climbing.

This compact guide provides a useful introduction to the most commonly found and easily identified species, ranging from well-known edibles like morels, blackberries, and persimmons to ones that are not as commonly eaten, such as toothwort, common greenbrier, and redbud.

Book Synopsis Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Northern Florida and Adjacent Georgia and Alabama by : Robert K. Godfrey
Download or read book Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Northern Florida and Adjacent Georgia and Alabama written by Robert K. Godfrey and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This complete and authoritative work provides identification keys, full descriptions, and line drawings that make it possible to identify 383 native and naturalized species of trees, shrubs, and woody vines found in northern Florida and adjacent Georgia and Alabama. Casual observers of the lower coastal plain may at first see a landscape dominated by pines. Closer observation reveals a great diversity of plants--patterns of contrasting vegetation caused by the complex physical and biotic factors at work. In this richly vegetated area, a rise of only four feet in elevation can bring significant changes in community composition, changes comparable, perhaps, to those occurring on a four-thousand-foot mountainside. The descriptions in this guide are useful not only for identification but also for their help in enhancing the user's knowledge of the plants. Each description is followed by information on the habitat in which the species is known to occur, the species' general location within the area under study, and its overall geographic range. Whenever possible, vegetative characteristics have been used in the keys so that the book is useful beyond the sometimes brief flowering seasons of the species. The use of technical terminology has been minimized in the keys and descriptions, and a full glossary is provided. Based on thirty years of constant study and firsthand observation, Robert K. Godfrey's manual is a definitive work on this area's notably diverse woody flora, from the common longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and Jackson-brier (Smilax smallii) to locally rarer species such as the fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), Spanish bayonet (Yucca gloriosa), and ornamental Chinese tallow-tree (Sapium sebiferum).
