The Spruce Genome
This book offers comprehensive information on the genomics of spruces (Picea spp.), naturally abundant conifer tree species that are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Due to their tremendous ecological and economic importance, the management of forest genetic resources has chiefly focused on conservation and tree improvement. A draft genome sequence of the 20-gigabase Norway spruce genome was published in the journal Nature in 2013. Continuous efforts to improve the spruce genome assembly are underway, but are hindered by the inherent characteristics of conifer genomes: high amounts of repetitive sequences (introns and transposable elements) in the genome and large gene family e...
Bark Beetle Population Dynamics in the Anthropocene: Challenges and Solutions
Abstract: Tree-killing bark beetles are the most economically important insects in conifer forests worldwide. However, despite >200 years of research, the drivers of population eruptions and crashes are still not fully understood and the existing knowledge is thus insufficient to face the challenges posed by the Anthropocene. We critically analyze potential biotic and abiotic drivers of population dynamics of an exemplary species, the European spruce bark beetle (ESBB) (Ips typographus) and present a multivariate approach that integrates the many drivers governing this bark beetle system. We call for hypothesis-driven, large-scale collaborative research efforts to improve our understanding of the population dynamics of this and other bark beetle pests. Our approach can serve as a blueprint for tackling other eruptive forest insects
Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change
Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on the complex effects of global warming upon the economically and ecologically important bark beetle species and their host trees. This authoritative reference synthesizes information on how forest disturbances and environmental changes due to current and future climate changes alter the ecology and management of bark beetles in forested landscapes. Written by international experts on bark beetle ecology, this book covers topics ranging from changes in bark beetle distributions and addition of novel hosts due to climate change, interactions of insects with altered host physiology and di...
Perkembangan Dan Manfaat Obat Herbal Sebagai Fitoterapi
Fitoterapi pengobatan dan pencegahan penyakit menggunakan tanaman, bagian tanaman, dan sediaan yang terbuat dari tanaman (tanaman obat/herbal) merupakan bagian penting dalam pengobatan. Dalam menemukan suatu herbal yang berkhasiat sebagai obat, banyak langkah yang harus dilalui. Berawal dari uji kandungan metabolit sekunder, aktivitas herbal baik secara in vitro maupun in vivo, serta kajian toksisitas herbal tersebut. Dalam kajian fitoterapi juga perlu melihat komposisi bahan herbal untuk terapi. Selain itu, interaksi obat dan herbal perlu dikaji untuk mengurangi resiko kegagalan terapi. Buku ini menyajikan informasi mengenai sejarah perkembangan dan potensi rempah sebagai obat herbal, prepa...
Waldgeheimnisse
Wie funktioniert ein Baum? Wem gehört der Wald? Können Bäume kommunizieren? »Waldgeheimnisse« nimmt seine Leser*innen mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch den Wald, bei der mit gängigen Mythen aufgeräumt wird und man aus dem Staunen gar nicht mehr herauskommt. Neben den unglaublichen Fähigkeiten eines einzelnen Baumes erzählt es vom Zusammenleben einer Baumfamilie, geht auf tierische und menschliche Spurensuche und weckt durch interaktive Aufgaben den Entdeckergeist. Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen, Fotos und Steckbriefen wird anschaulich alles erklärt, was wir schon immer über den Wald wissen wollten.
