This book was released on 1997 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the non-woody components of tropical forests, such as herbaceous plants. It is the result of a project carried out in several forests in Western Uganda and Eastern Zaire from 1994 to 1996. The project was carried out by the Danish Centre for Tropical Biodiversity (The Botanical Museum, Copenhagen) in collaboration with several institutions in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire). Tropical forests are objects of increasing interest for their importance to the global environment. Forestry studies have so far solely been focused on trees, despite the fact that forest floor plants have the advantage of easy access. The aim of the project was to assess patterns of botanical diversity within and between forests in Western Uganda. The main emphasis was on the ground herbs, especially the ferns. The most significant output at this stage is the documentation of species. Appendices list the diversity of species for each Ugandan site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical forests affect climate, and the removal of the forests will change climate. Or not? This book discusses basic questions on how far, if at all, tropical deforestation leads to climatic change. The question of this uncertainty is particularly addressed. One important consequence of the uncertainties of whether deforestation affects climate is how scientific findings best illuminate the policy-making process.

Book excerpt: The 7-volume Encyclopedia of Biodiversity, Second Edition maintains the reputation of the highly regarded original, presenting the most current information available in this globally crucial area of research and study. It brings together the dimensions of biodiversity and examines both the services it provides and the measures to protect it. Major themes of the work include the evolution of biodiversity, systems for classifying and defining biodiversity, ecological patterns and theories of biodiversity, and an assessment of contemporary patterns and trends in biodiversity. The science of biodiversity has become the science of our future. It is an interdisciplinary field spanning areas of both physical and life sciences. Our awareness of the loss of biodiversity has brought a long overdue appreciation of the magnitude of this loss and a determination to develop the tools to protect our future. Second edition includes over 100 new articles and 226 updated articles covering this multidisciplinary field— from evolution to habits to economics, in 7 volumes The editors of this edition are all well respected, instantly recognizable academics operating at the top of their respective fields in biodiversity research; readers can be assured that they are reading material that has been meticulously checked and reviewed by experts Approximately 1,800 figures and 350 tables complement the text, and more than 3,000 glossary entries explain key terms
