Download or read book The Importance of Seed Characteristics in the Natural Reproduction of Coniferous Forests Classic Reprint written by Julius Valentine Hofmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Importance of Seed Characteristics in the Natural Reproduction of Coniferous Forests Periodicity Of the seed years is variable; so much so that it can not be considered in any practical application in planning for future forest work. It must, however, be considered in determining when the latest heavy crop Of seed was produced. The forests produce seed sometimes annually and sometimes at periods of two or three years or even more. It is sufficient to know for the purposes of management, whether the latest crop was a sparse, medium, or heavy one.

Download or read book Conifer Reproductive Biology written by Claire G. Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to reproduction, gymnosperms are deeply weird. Cycads and co- fers have drawn out reproduction: at least 13 genera take over a year from polli- tion to fertilization. Since they don’t apparently have any selection mechanism by which to discriminate among pollen tubes prior to fertilization, it is natural to w- der why such a delay in reproduction is necessary. Claire Williams’ book celebrates such oddities of conifer reproduction. She has written a book that turns the context of many of these reproductive quirks into deeper questions concerning evolution. The origins of some of these questions can be traced back Wilhelm Hofmeister’s 1851 book, which detailed the revolutionary idea of alternation of generations. This alternation between diploid and haploid generations was eventually to become one of the key unifying ideas in plant evolution. Dr. Williams points out that alter- tion of generations in conifers shows strong divergence in the evolution of male and female gametes, as well as in the synchronicity of male and female gamete development. How are these coordinated to achieve fertilization? Books on conifer reproduction are all too rare. The only major work in the last generation was Hardev Singh’s 1978 Embryology of Gymnosperms, a book that summarized the previous century’s work. Being a book primarily about embry- ogy, it stopped short of putting conifer reproduction in a genetic or evolutionary context.

Book Resource Physiology of Conifers

Download or read book Resource Physiology of Conifers written by William K. Smith and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coniferous forests are among the most important of ecosystems. These forests are widespread and influence both the financial and biological health of our globe. This book focuses attention on conifers and how these trees acquire, allocate, and utilize the resources that sustain this crucial productivity. An international team of experts has surveyed and synthesized information from an expanding area of inquiry. The first half of the book describes how resources are acquired both by means of photosynthesis and through root systems. The latter half of the volume focuses upon how resources are stored and used. As conifers continue as a resource and ever increasingly important contributor to the regional and global environmental sustainability, this book will help establish how much sustainability can be expected and maintained.
