The Andean Cloud Forest
Author: Randall W. Myster
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030573443
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example. Here I take advantage of my many years working in ACF in Ecuador, to edit this book that contains the following sections: (1) ACF over space and time, (2) Hydrology, (3) Light and the Carbon cycle, (4) Soil, litter, fungi and nutrient cycling, (5) Plants, (6) Animals, and (7) Human impacts and management. Under this premise, international experts contributed chapters that consist of reviews of what is known about their topic, of what research they have done, and of what needs to be done in the future. This work is suitable for graduate students, professors, scientists, and researcher-oriented managers.

Una evaluación del estado de conservación de las eco-regiones terrestres de América Latina y el Caribe
Author: Eric Dinerstein
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780821332962
Category : Biodiversity conservation
Languages : es
Pages : 135
Book Description
Spanish edition ("Una Evaluación del Estado de Conservación de las Eco-regiones Terrestres de America Latina y el Caribe"). Published in association with the World Wildlife Fund. Describes a new strategy for conserving biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean and identifies ecoregions that deserve high-priority action. This handbook presents a framework for prioritizing conservation action in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), based on the biological distinctiveness and conservation status of natural communities. To ensure that all biologically meaningful communities are represented, the authors subdivide LAC into 5 major ecosystem types, 11 major habitat types, and 191 ecoregions. After explaining their methodology and presenting the results of their assessments, the authors rank the ecoregions to identify priorities for biodiversity conservation. Such rankings--together with economic, social, political, and institutional considerations--can guide the investment activities of the World Bank, national policymakers, donors, and nongovernmental organizations. The handbook includes a poster-sized color map as well as 11 full-page maps (9 in color). Also available in English: (ISBN 0-8213-3295-3) Stock No. 13295.
