Field Guide to Wild Flowers of South Africa
Author: John Manning
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1920544879
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
Field Guide to Wildflowers of South Africa describes more than 1 100 of the shrubs and herbs of the region, highlighting the most conspicuous species and those most likely to be encountered across the country. The emphasis is on identifying plants progressively to family, genus and species level: a novel identification aid and easy-to-use keys guide users to the correct family and genus, while individual species descriptions, accompanied by a clear photograph, distribution map and an indication of flowering season, help them to pinpoint the plant. By using the guide, wild-flower enthusiasts at all levels will now be able to accurately identify plants in any part of South africa.

Autoecology and Ecophysiology of Woody Shrubs and Trees
Author: Ratikanta Maiti
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119104440
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Forest trees and shrubs play vital ecological roles, reducing the carbon load from the atmosphere by using carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and by the storage of carbon in biomass and wood as a source of energy. Autoecology deals with all aspects of woody plants; the dynamism of populations, physiological traits of trees, light requirements, life history patterns, and physiological and morphological characters. Ecophysiology is defined by various plant growth parameters such as leaf traits, xylem water potential, plant height, basal diameter, and crown architecture which are, in turn, influenced by physiological traits and environmental conditions in the forest ecosystem. In short, this book details research advances in various aspects of woody plants to help forest scientists and foresters manage and protect forest trees and plan their future research. Autoecology and Ecophysiology of Woody Shrubs and Trees is intended to be a guide for students of woody plant autoecology and ecophysiology, as well as for researchers in this field. It is also an invaluable resource for foresters to assist in effective management of forest resources.

Birds and Flowers
Author: Jeff Ollerton
Publisher: Pelagic Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1784274526
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Hummingbirds, and the balletic ways in which they feed on flowers, are familiar to most people. But they belong to just one of at least 74 bird families that are known, or suspected, to be pollinators. Relationships between plants and birds first emerged at least 50 million years ago and over time have influenced the evolution of both groups. This groundbreaking book is the first to deal with pollinating birds in all their diversity, involving almost 1,390 avian species interacting with tens of thousands of different plants. It rescues them from being novelties of natural history and explores these interactions in all their evolutionary and ecological significance. Pollinating birds have intricate lives that are often highly dependent on flowers, and the plants themselves are at the whim of birds for their reproduction. This makes them important players within many ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, dry grasslands, temperate woodlands, coastal mangroves and oceanic islands. Bird–flower relationships are threatened by disease, habitat destruction and climate change. Some of the birds are already extinct. Yet there are optimistic stories to be told about conservation and restoration projects that reveal the commitment of people to preserving these vital ecological connections. In addition, as a source of cultural inspiration with a history stretching back millennia, pollinating birds and their flowers are part of the ongoing relationship between humanity and the rest of nature.
