Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Montane Rain-Forest: A Contribution to the Physiological Plant Geography of Jamaica The vegetation Of Jamaica is Of particular interest, both by reason Of the wealth Of the ora Of which it is made up and because Of the diversity which is given it by the varied geological, topographic, and climatic conditions which exist within the limits Of so small an island. Jamaica lies in the center Of the Caribbean Sea in 18 N. Latitude, is about 150 miles long, and from 25 to 50 miles wide. Its most salient physical feature is the central mountainous axis, the eastern end Of which is lofty and Of relatively recent geologic age, while the western two-thirds are lower and Older; the recent formations being mostly shales, conglomerates, and tuffs, the Older limestone. The mountain ous interior is bordered on the north by a very narrow coastal plain, on the south by a plain which is narrow opposite the loftier mountain mass, but wide in the southwestern parishes Of the island. The higher elevations Of the eastern end constitute the Blue Mountain Range, which attains to an altitude Of feet meters). Not only do the Blue Mountains present conditions Of temperature that result in their own vegetation being distinct from that Of the lowlands, but they moreover serve as a barrier to the trade winds, and thereby give differences Of rainfall and humidity on their north and south sides which are Of importance in determining the character Of the lowland vegeta tion. The greatest rainfall in the island is registered at high elevations on the northern slopes Of the Blue Mountains, while the least occurs at the coast to the south Of them. The lower and Older portion Of the mountainous axis, which reaches its highest points in Mount Diablo, Bull Head, Dolphin Head, and the Santa Cruz Mountains, is much less diversified than the Blue Mountains in both temperature and rainfall conditions, and strikingly dissimilar to any part Of them in its vegetation. South Of the Older mountainous region are broad savannas, with morasses along the larger streams and deserts on certain parts Of the coast.

Download or read book Tropical Montane Cloud Forests written by L. A. Bruijnzeel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a uniquely comprehensive overview of our current knowledge on tropical montane cloud forests. 72 chapters cover a wide spectrum of topics including cloud forest distribution, climate, soils, biodiversity, hydrological processes, hydrochemistry and water quality, climate change impacts, and cloud forest conservation, management, and restoration. The final chapter presents a major synthesis by some of the world's leading cloud forest researchers, which summarizes our current knowledge and considers the sustainability of these forests in an ever-changing world. This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge concerning cloud forest occurrence and status, as well as the biological and hydrological value of these unique forests. The presentation is academic but with a firm practical emphasis. It will serve as a core reference for academic researchers and students of environmental science and ecology, as well as practitioners (natural resources management, forest conservation) and decision makers at local, national, and international levels.

Book excerpt: The treetops of the world's forests are where discovery and opportunity abound, however they have been relatively inaccessible until recently. This book represents an authoritative synthesis of data, anecdotes, case studies, observations, and recommendations from researchers and educators who have risked life and limb in their advocacy of the High Frontier. With innovative rope techniques, cranes, walkways, dirigibles, and towers, they finally gained access to the rich biodiversity that lives far above the forest floor and the emerging science of canopy ecology. In this new edition of Forest Canopies, nearly 60 scientists and educators from around the world look at the biodiversity, ecology, evolution, and conservation of forest canopy ecosystems. Comprehensive literature list State-of-the-art results and data sets from current field work Foremost scientists in the field of canopy ecology Expanded collaboration of researchers and international projects User-friendly format with sidebars and case studies Keywords and outlines for each chapter

Download or read book American Tropics written by Megan Raby and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity has been a key concept in international conservation since the 1980s, yet historians have paid little attention to its origins. Uncovering its roots in tropical fieldwork and the southward expansion of U.S. empire at the turn of the twentieth century, Megan Raby details how ecologists took advantage of growing U.S. landholdings in the circum-Caribbean by establishing permanent field stations for long-term, basic tropical research. From these outposts of U.S. science, a growing community of American "tropical biologists" developed both the key scientific concepts and the values embedded in the modern discourse of biodiversity. Considering U.S. biological fieldwork from the era of the Spanish-American War through the anticolonial movements of the 1960s and 1970s, this study combines the history of science, environmental history, and the history of U.S.–Caribbean and Latin American relations. In doing so, Raby sheds new light on the origins of contemporary scientific and environmentalist thought and brings to the forefront a surprisingly neglected history of twentieth-century U.S. science and empire.

Download or read book The Andean Cloud Forest written by Randall W. Myster and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
