This book was released on 1996 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the present publication, the structural studies of the ROLLET-Collection in Venezuelan Guiana are completed. Hundreds of tree species were studied concerning their bark structure, their leaf anatomy and fruit structure. The picture is now rounded off by the investigation of the leaf venation described in detail in this book, accompanied by many instructive figures. The book will be of interest not only to anatomists, taxonomists and ecologists but also to the teachers explaining the extraordinary tropical flora.

This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody plants occupy dominant vegetation in forest ecosystem. They play an important role in reducing carbon load from the atmosphere and store them as biomass and carbon as sources of energy. Forest trees are sources of timbers, various domestic uses, medicinal purposes, forest products, and sources of animal nutrition. At this juncture, there is a great necessity to save forest trees for life security and effective management and maintain an ecobalance to save earth from the clutch of pollution. To fulfill these objectives, a clear understanding of the biology of trees and its applications is an essential prerequisite for effective management and its application. No such book is available to undergraduate and graduate students and teachers. It discusses experimental biology to study the various aspects of tree biology from a practical stand point guide. This deals with general concepts of plant, soil and environments, the vegetation and biodiversity, morpho-anatomical and ecophysiological traits phenological events and plasticity, branching pattern and branching density functioning as solar panel for capture of solar radiation for productivity, diversity of leaves morphological and biochemical traits such as pigments, epicuticular wax, leaf macronutrients necessary for the growth and development and animal nutrition, wood anatomical traits related to timber quality and utility. A special emphasis has been given in the selection of tree species with high ecophysiological traits. The book deals with advances in research and includes our original research results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaves are all around us—in backyards, cascading from window boxes, even emerging from small cracks in city sidewalks given the slightest glint of sunlight. Perhaps because they are everywhere, it’s easy to overlook the humble leaf, but a close look at them provides one of the most enjoyable ways to connect with the natural world. A lush, incredibly informative tribute to the leaf, Nature’s Fabric offers an introduction to the science of leaves, weaving biology and chemistry with the history of the deep connection we feel with all things growing and green. Leaves come in a staggering variety of textures and shapes: they can be smooth or rough, their edges smooth, lobed, or with tiny teeth. They have adapted to their environments in remarkable, often stunningly beautiful ways—from the leaves of carnivorous plants, which have tiny “trigger hairs” that signal the trap to close, to the impressive defense strategies some leaves have evolved to reduce their consumption. (Recent studies suggest, for example, that some plants can detect chewing vibrations and mobilize potent chemical defenses.) In many cases, we’ve learned from the extraordinary adaptations of leaves, such as the invention of new self-cleaning surfaces inspired by the slippery coating found on leaves. But we owe much more to leaves, and Lee also calls our attention back to the fact that that our very lives—and the lives of all on the planet—depend on them. Not only is foliage is the ultimate source of food for every living thing on land, its capacity to cycle carbon dioxide and oxygen can be considered among evolution’s most important achievements—and one that is critical in mitigating global climate change. Taking readers through major topics like these while not losing sight of the small wonders of nature we see every day—if you’d like to identify a favorite leaf, Lee’s glossary of leaf characteristics means you won’t be left out on a limb—Nature’s Fabric is eminently readable and full of intriguing research, sure to enhance your appreciation for these extraordinary green machines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Os padroes de venacao de todas as 47 especies de Kielmeyera (Guttiferae), reconhecidas na revisao taxonomica do genero, foram estudados utilizando-se folhas herborizadas nao tratadas e tratadas quimicamente pelas dissolucoes da cuticula e do mesofilo e da coloracao do esqueleto. A variacao morfologica das diversas caracteristicas e dos padroes de venacao esta ilustrada neste trabalho. As modalidades de tricomas e os arranjamentos das veias principais laterais em conjunto com a distancia entre elas e os graus de visibilidade e proeminencia em folhas nao tratadas quimicamente, bem como os diversos padroes de venacao broquidodroma e o numero de redes que resulta apos o tratamento alcoolico-alcalino sobre as folhas, mostraram-se variaveis morfologicamente e importantes taxonomicamente a distintos niveis de hierarquia. Diversidades morfologicas menores foram tambem encontradas nos padroes exibidos principalmente pelas veias terciarias em folhas nao tratadas, bem como nas venulas, por exemplo, em folhas tratadas quimicamente. Durante a revisao taxonomica do genero, foi examinado um numero superior a quatro mil especimes, e os resultados obtidos da investigacao da venacao foliar estao analisados em relacao a outros campos de estudos, principalmente quanto as caracteristicas ecologicas, fitogeograficas e taxonomicas das especies de Kielmeyera. A importancia da venacao foliar em Kielmeyera relacionada com a taxonomia do genero esta apresentada neste trabalho.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author analyzes plant form and how it has evolved in response to basic physical laws. He examines the ways these laws limit the organic expression of form, size, and growth in a variety of plant structures and in plants as whole organisms, drawing on both the fossil record and studies of extant species.
