Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A qualitative ecological survey of the plant communities of San Nicolas Island, California, was accomplished during three on-site visits. Eleven plant communities are recognized, of which six are grouped together into a formation. The historical evidence for development and change of these communities is also discussed. Collection was made of 239 specimens of 100 species. To this collection was added the recent unreported collections of several botanists and the previously reported collections were reviewed in the herbariums. The resulting annotated list of plants has 147 species and varieties, of which 94 are native; 35 previously reported species were not included in this list pending location of specimens. A summary of the literature on the geology, history, climate, and fauna is also presented. (Author).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sensitive Plants of San Nicolas Island, California: Phase 2 The California Channel Islands are located off the coast of southern California (fig. These 8 islands represent the emergent portions of a complex system of submarine canyons and ridges in a geomorphic province referred to as the California Continental Borderland (vedder The islands are natural areas known for windswept landscapes, rugged coastlines, and unspoiled beaches that are often teeming with marine mammals and birds. Their floras, rich in endemic species, have attracted the attention of botanists and horticulturists for more than a century. The California Channel Islands are situated between 32 48' and 34 05 N latitude and between 118 21' and 120 27' W longitude, and range in size from to 249 kmz. Maximum elevations on the islands vary from 194 to 753 m. Distances from the adjacent mainland range from 20 km (anacapa Island) to 98 km (san Nicolas Island). The 8 islands in the chain have been divided into 2 major groups: (1) the Northern Channel Islands (san Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and Anacapa); and (2) the Southern Channel Islands (santa Barbara, San Nicolas, Santa Catalina, and San Clemente). San Nicolas, the site of this study, is the most isolated of the Southern Channel Islands. It lies 98 km south-southwest of Ventura, with its center near 33 15' N latitude, 119 28' W longitude. The nearest neighboring island is Santa Barbara, 45 km to the northeast. San Nicolas is separated from Santa Barbara and the other islands in the chain by deep ocean channels. The other islands lie 80 - 96 km to the north and about 80 km to the east and southeast. Approximately 58 sq km in size, San Nicolas is an oval-shaped island (fig. 2) about km long and km wide. From the sea, the island presents a low, table-like profile. Its topography is dominated by a broad terrace or mesa with no distinctive peaks; this mesa covers most of the surface area of the island, being roughly km long and km wide (usgs Topographic Map, San Nicolas Island, ca). The main axis of the island runs from northwest to southeast, and the mesa $10pes gently to the northeast from the highest points, which are near the south rim of the terrace. The maximum elevation on the island is 277 m (at Jackson Peak). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.

Book excerpt: "This completely new edition of Terrestrial Vegetation of California clearly documents the extraordinary complexity and richness of the plant communities and of the state and the forces that shape them. This volume is a storehouse of information of value to anyone concerned with meeting the challenge of understanding, managing or conserving these unique plant communities under the growing threats of climate change, biological invasions and development."—Harold Mooney, Professor of Environmental Biology, Stanford University "The plants of California are under threat like never before. Traditional pressures of development and invasive species have been joined by a newly-recognized threat: human-caused climate change. It is essential that we thoroughly understand current plant community dynamics in order to have a hope of conserving them. This book represents an important, well-timed advance in knowledge of the vegetation of this diverse state and is an essential resource for professionals, students, and the general public alike."—Brent Mishler, Director of the University & Jepson Herbaria and Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley
