Download and read online ebook Moss flora of China : English version write by Chien Gao. This book was released on 2007. Moss flora of China : English version available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. China has about 2,500 species of mosses and has the richest and the most diverse moss flora in the Northern Temperate zone. This number is about 20% of all the mosses currently recognized in the world. Knowledge of the Chinese moss flora, like that of the vascular plant flora, is of importance to the understanding of the underlying dynamics of past plant migrations, vegetational history, and the significance of the local refugia in Asia. This volume treats 32 genera and 206 specific and infraspecific taxa. The following taxa are treated: Bryaceae, Mniaceae, Rhizogoniaceae, Hypnodendraceae, Aulacomniaceae, Meesiaceae, Bartramiaceae, Spiridentaceae, and Timmiaceae.

Download and read online ebook Illustrated Moss Flora of Antarctica write by Ryszard Ochyra. This book was released on 2008-11-13. Illustrated Moss Flora of Antarctica available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Mosses are a major component of the vegetation in ice-free coastal regions of Antarctica. They play an important role in the colonisation of ice-free terrain, accumulation of organic matter, release of organic exudates, and also provide a food and habitat resource for invertebrates. They serve as model organisms for physiological experiments designed to elucidate problems of plant cold tolerance and survival mechanisms and for monitoring biological responses to climate change. This Flora provides the first comprehensive description, with keys, of all known species and varieties of moss in the Antarctic biome. It has involved microscopic examination of around 10,000 specimens from Antarctica and, for comparison, from other continents. All species are illustrated by detailed line drawings, alongside information about their reproductive status, ecology, and distribution. This is an invaluable resource for bryologists worldwide, as well as to Antarctic botanists and other terrestrial biologists.

Download and read online ebook Research in Biodiversity write by Igor Pavlinov. This book was released on 2011-10-12. Research in Biodiversity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The book covers several topics of biodiversity researches and uses, containing 17 chapters grouped into 5 sections. It begins with an interesting chapter considering the ways in which the very biodiversity could be thought about. Noteworthy is the chapter expounding pretty original "creativity theory of ecosystem". There are several chapters concerning models describing relation between ecological niches and diversity maintenance, the factors underlying avian species imperilment, and diversity turnover rate of a local beetle group. Of special importance is the chapter outlining a theoretical model for morphological disparity in its most widened treatment. Several chapters consider regional aspects of biodiversity in Europe, Asia, Central and South America, among them an approach for monitoring conservation of the regional tropical phytodiversity in India is of special importance. Of interest is also a chapter considering the history of the very idea of biodiversity emergence in ecological researches.
