Book Synopsis Biodiversity of Angola by : Brian J. Huntley
Download or read book Biodiversity of Angola written by Brian J. Huntley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access multi-authored book presents a 'state of the science' synthesis of knowledge on the biodiversity of Angola, based on sources in peer-reviewed journals, in books and where appropriate, unpublished official reports. The book identifies Angola as one of the most biologically diverse countries in Africa, but notes that its fauna, flora, habitats and the processes that drive the dynamics of its ecosystems are still very poorly researched and documented. This 'state of the science' synthesis is for the use of all students of Angola's biodiversity, and for those responsible for the planning, development and sustainable management of the country's living resources. The volume brings together the results of expeditions and research undertaken in Angola since the late eighteenth century, with emphasis on work conducted in the four decades since Angola's independence in 1975. The individual chapters have been written by leaders in their fields, and reviewed by peers familiar with the region.

Book Synopsis A Vegetation Classification and Map by : Esteban Muldvin
Download or read book A Vegetation Classification and Map written by Esteban Muldvin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Program and the NPS Southern Plains Network (SOPN) of parks in cooperation with Natural Heritage New Mexico (NHNM, a division of the Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico), and the staff at Pecos National Historical Park (PECO), set out to develop vegetation maps that meet or exceed USGS-NPS standards of 1:24,000-scale and 0.5-ha minimum map unit size (USGS 2010). The maps were based on high-resolution aerial photography along with extensive ground sampling. The project was initiated in 2006 with ensuing field surveys of the vegetation communities through 2011. The vegetation survey data were entered into a database and used to develop a park-wide vegetation classification following the National Vegetation Classification System (FGDC 1997, 2008; Grossman et al. 1998) guidelines.* Then, using the vegetation classification and associated ground control points, vegetation maps were generated at a 1:12,000 scale using a combination of automated image analysis (image segmentation and supervised classifications) and direct image interpretation. Map units were designed to support ecologically based natural resources management with an emphasis on use in fire and wildlife management. The authors provide here the details on how the maps were constructed, an overview of the classification and ecology of the vegetation communities of the monument, the vegetation maps with associated map unit descriptions, plant community descriptions and a diagnostic key, and a vouchered species list. The maps are presented in both paper and digital form as part of a geographic information system (GIS) compatible with that used in the park and national USGSNPS national mapping program. In addition, all field data were compiled into a relational database compatible with USGS-NPS database guidelines, and all data and report elements made ready for web-based applications. Finally, the authors provide an accuracy assessment that reflects both user and producer confidence in the map.

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NatureServe contracted with the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NH Heritage) to conduct a survey and produce a map of the vegetation of Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. NatureServe ecologists planned the sampling, oversaw the field effort, and integrated plot and accuracy assessment data and field information into the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) to produce a standardized product for the National Park Service. The purpose of this project was to produce a standardized map and classification of the vegetation communities and land cover of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and to provide thorough baseline data on the park's vegetation.
Book Synopsis Plant and Vegetation Mapping by : Franco Pedrotti
Download or read book Plant and Vegetation Mapping written by Franco Pedrotti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is concerned principally with geobotanical mapping. Geobotany is a broad science that deals with the study of species and of vegetation communities in relation to the environment; it includes other, perhaps more familiar sciences, such as plant geography, plant ecology, and chorology, and phytosociology (plant sociology). Geobotanical cartography is a field of thematic cartography that deals with the interpretation and representation, in the form of maps, of those spatial and temporal phenomena that pertain to flora, vegetation, vegetated landscapes, vegetation zones, and phytogeographical units. The production of a geobotanical map represents the last stage in a cognitive process that begins with observations in the field and continues with the collection of sample data, interpretation of the phenomena observed, and their appropriate cartographic representation; geobotanical cartography is closely tied to the concepts and scope of geobotany in general

Book Synopsis Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve by : Kelly Kindscher
Download or read book Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve written by Kelly Kindscher and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three-year program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at TAPR. The Kansas Biological Survey (KBS) in conjunction with NatureServe developed a vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification System and produced a digital vegetation map. To classify the vegetation, plots located throughout TAPR were sampled during the summer of 2008. Additional data were obtained from vegetation plots sampled by the Inventory & Monitoring program in 2006. Analysis of the plot data by KBS produced 12 map units (eight vegetated and four land-use) which are directly matched to corresponding plant associations and land-use classes. Descriptions and a field key for all plant communities of TAPR are included in this report. Draft maps were printed, field tested, reviewed and revised.

Book Synopsis Vegetation Survey and Classification of Subtropical Forests of Southern Africa by : Ladislav Mucina
Download or read book Vegetation Survey and Classification of Subtropical Forests of Southern Africa written by Ladislav Mucina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights classification patterns and underlying ecological drivers structuring the vegetation of selected indigenous subtropical forests in South Africa. It uses original field sampling and advanced numerical data analysis to examine three major types of forest – Albany Coastal Forests, Pondoland Coastal Scarp and Eastern Scarp – all of which are of high conservation value. Offering a unique and systematic assessment of South African ecology in unprecedented detail, the book could serve as a model for future vegetation surveys of forests not only in Africa, but also around the globe.
