Book Synopsis Plants from the Niger Delta by : B. L. Nyananyo
Download or read book Plants from the Niger Delta written by B. L. Nyananyo and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst there have been earlier attempts at enumerating and characterising plant species generally in this area, they have been by European explorers. This work focuses on the Niger Delta, on which there has been no previous specific work, and the author is himself from the Niger Delta. It is informed by the need to provide practical guidance for environmental and legal practitioners, botanists, conservationists, drug manufacturers and ethnobotanists, for the sustainable development of the fragile eco-system of the Niger Delta; and is presented pictorially, in full colour, to enable use and identify hitherto unknown plants. The floristic composition of the region is a microcosm of that of Nigeria, since material is brought down the rivers Niger and Benue, promulgating plant species in the region. The fossil oil exploration in the area results in destruction of plant and animal species, and the book seeks to preserve information which may otherwise be lost forever. Names of plant species are recorded in accordance with the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.

Book Synopsis The Coastal Niger Delta by : Dr Michael Amaitari Niger
Download or read book The Coastal Niger Delta written by Dr Michael Amaitari Niger and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has been conscious for several years of the problems of flooding, erosion, and other natural constraints in the Delta. These are his experiences, his knowledge of the coastal Niger Delta region. His MPhil and PhD research were on these problems. Above all, he was born and grew up in the delta, which gave him the determination to find solutions to the problems that have been giving the authorities the excuse to neglect the region, since its independence in 1960. The influence that these scourges exercise on the region is as much human as the topography of the environment and the morphology of the towns. He believes that there are solutions and engaged himself in finding these solutions.
Book Synopsis Mangrove Biology, Ecosystem, and Conservation by :
Download or read book Mangrove Biology, Ecosystem, and Conservation written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangroves are considered the “wonder flora” distributed in the tropics, subtropics, and warm temperate latitudes. Aside from protecting the coastal marine communities, mangroves also serve as a haven for aquatic and terrestrial fauna, actively participate in energy dynamics, recycle nutrients, filter waste, and support the livelihood of coastal communities. This makes the mangrove ecosystem crucial to the well-being of the planet. This book, written by experts, provides invaluable insights into mangroves of the Niger Delta, the relationship between mangrove recruitment and thrombolytic development, deforestation and sustainability, mangrove health assessment, ecosystem-based coastal protection, and conservation through ecotourism. This book on mangrove biology, ecosystem, and conservation is an invaluable resource for every mangrove enthusiast.
Book Synopsis The utilization of alien plant invaders in Nigeria by : Udufo Gbadamashi
Download or read book The utilization of alien plant invaders in Nigeria written by Udufo Gbadamashi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: A, , course: Biology, language: English, abstract: This study reviews the utilization of alien plant invaders in Nigeria, with a view to recommending these plants to Nigerians considering their utilization potential. The overall aim of this research project is reflected in the following research questions: How does educational awareness have impact on the utilization of plant invaders? What was the utilization of alien plants invasions? How does climate change and variability aid the invasion of alien species? How do alien plant invaders affect the economic, recreational and environmental uses? Invasive alien species have been introduced to Nigeria from different parts of the world both intentionally and unintentionally and they are affecting indigenous plants and animal communities. The intentional spread has been a result of ongoing and increasing human redistribution of species to support agriculture, forestry, mariculture, horticulture and recreation. This supplies a continuous pool of species from which invasive aliens are recruited. The invasive alien species were also introduced as commercial plants or ornamental garden plants. Invasions also occurred countrywide as a result of seed introductions, of tree and shrub clearing for pasture and grazing infestations. The unintentional introductions of IAPs include disease organisms, agricultural weeds and insect pests. However, they were broughtwithout their natural enemies, which results in these plants reproducing copiously.

Book Synopsis The Ecology of River Systems by : Bryan R. Davies
Download or read book The Ecology of River Systems written by Bryan R. Davies and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of the ecology of running waters has come a long way during the past few years. From being a largely descriptive subject, with a few under tones concerned with such things as fisheries, pollution or control of blackflies, it has evolved into a discipline with hypotheses, such as the River Continuum Concept (Vannote et a/. 1980), and even a book suggesting that it offers opportunity for the testing of ecological theory (Barnes & Minshall 1983). However, perusal of the literature reveals that, although some of the very early studies were concerned with large rivers (references in Hynes 1970), the great mass of the work that has been done on running water has been on streams and small rivers, and information on larger rivers is either on such limited topics as fisheries or plankton, scattered among the journals, or not available to the general limnologist. The only exceptions are a few books in this series of publications, such as those on the Nile (Rz6ska 1976), the Volga (Morduckai Boltovskoi 1979) and the Amazon {Sioli 1984), and the recent compendium by Whitton (1984) on European rivers, among which there are a few that rate as large.

Wildfires, heat waves, flooding, droughts, and numerous other catastrophic scenarios manifest as a result. Use this volume to inform and alert your readers about this essential topic. With the global impact of environmental catastrophes becoming increasingly pronounced, scientists and politicians alike question what the best course of action may be to slow or even reverse the devastation. With this book, readers will form intelligent opinions that can help shape future action about necessary solutions.
