Download or read book Terrestrial African Orchids written by John Ball and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 128 orchids illustrated in this work were collected from the wild in many localities by the late John S. Ball, mainly during the early 1950s when he worked as a forester in the Melsetter area close to the Chimanimani Mountains in Zimbabwe. Many of the species from this area are recorded to the North in the Flora of Tropical East Africa floristic region and to the South in the Republic of South Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal. In 1978 John Ball's work on epiphytic orchids from this region was published in the book Southern African Epiphytic Orchids. The present work is edited by Jane Browning (John Ball's sister) assisted by Esme Hennessy.

Download or read book Tropical Rain Forest Ecosystems written by H. Lieth and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After publication of the first volume of the Tropical Rain Forest, the International Journal of Mycology and Lichenology commented ``This is a welcome addition to the literature on the ecology of tropical rain forests. The book provides a wealth of data and stimulating discussions and is of great interest to ecologists interested in tropical areas.'' Whereas the first volume dealt with system-ecological aspects such as community organization and processes, the present volume concentrates on biogeographical aspects such as species composition, diversity, and geographical variation.Recent ecological research in the tropical rain forest has greatly extended our understanding of biogeographical patterns of variation in the various groups of organisms, and has revealed many of the ecological and evolutionary forces that led to the present patterns of variation. Many important systems of co-evolution between the tropical rain forest ecosystems have also come to light, and the loss of species and related damage is better understood in quantitative terms.This volume presents a comprehensive review of these and other features of the rain forest ecosystem structure, and the ecological processes operating that system. General chapters on abiotic and biotic factors are followed by specific chapters on all major groups of organisms. Prospects for the future are discussed and research needs clearly stated. Also the human exploitation of the system, its effects and its limits are discussed. The book is extensively illustrated by photographs, graphs, and tables, and comprehensive bibliographies follow each chapter. Author, systematic and subject indices complete the book.It is a must for all ecologists, agriculturists, foresters, agronomists, hydrologists, soil scientists, entomologists, human ecologists, nature conservationists, and planners dealing with tropical areas. Biologists and environmentalists will also find the volume of great interest.
Download or read book Plants from the Niger Delta written by B. L. Nyananyo and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst there have been earlier attempts at enumerating and characterising plant species generally in this area, they have been by European explorers. This work focuses on the Niger Delta, on which there has been no previous specific work, and the author is himself from the Niger Delta. It is informed by the need to provide practical guidance for environmental and legal practitioners, botanists, conservationists, drug manufacturers and ethnobotanists, for the sustainable development of the fragile eco-system of the Niger Delta; and is presented pictorially, in full colour, to enable use and identify hitherto unknown plants. The floristic composition of the region is a microcosm of that of Nigeria, since material is brought down the rivers Niger and Benue, promulgating plant species in the region. The fossil oil exploration in the area results in destruction of plant and animal species, and the book seeks to preserve information which may otherwise be lost forever. Names of plant species are recorded in accordance with the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
