Soils in Natural Landscapes
In any complete investigation of terrestrial ecosystems, rocks and soils must be considered. Soils are essential resources, providing water and nutrients for vascular plants, and mitigating the flow of water from the land. In addition, soil diversity is critical for biotic diversity. While there are many references on the agricultural perspective o
Ultramafic Geoecology of North America
A book about the geology, soils, and plant communities in ultramafic (serpentine etc.) landscapes from arctic and boreal areas in Alaska and Canada to Central America and the Caribbean area.
Serpentine Geoecology of Western North America
This book is about geology, soils, and plant communities in serpentine landscapes of western North America. Aspects of the interaction of geology and soils reveal a fascinating symbiosis relating the structure, composition, and distribution of plant communities. The plants that survive are a unique group. There are some entire genera or even families of plants that are common throughout California that are poorly represented on serpentine, while other genera are more diverse on serpentine than on other soils. Serpentine rocks have dramatic effects on the vegetation that grows on them. Many common plants cannot grow on serpentine soils, leaving distinctive suites of plants to occupy serpentine habitats. The floristic diversity associated with serpentine soils formed above ultramafic rocks is surprising considering that these soils are toxic to many plants. Serpentine barrens of California often look like moonscapes but here we find numerous species of plants of low biomass that produce a richness of species rarely found in the world.
Geoecology of California and Nevada Landscapes
The appreciation and wise use of our natural environment depends upon our understanding of the ecological, or geoecological, systems in it, and how the systems might be impacted by human activities. Understanding the natural systems, or geoecosystems, entails knowledge of the geology, landforms, soils, and biotic communities in them. Holistic understanding of the systems involves integration of the geological, landform, soil, and ecological aspects of them. The geoecosystem concept is most readily applicable at the multiple hectare (or multiple acre) scale. At a continental scale, geographers have recognized a hierarchy of physical divisions across North America with province and section cat...
