Women in Field Biology
Women are contributing to disciplines once the sole domain of men. Field biology has been no different. The history of women field biologists, embedded in a history largely made and recorded by men, has never been written. Compilations of biographies have been assembled, but the narrative—their story—has never been told. In part, this is because many expressed their passion for nature as writers, artists, collectors, and educators during eras when women were excluded from the male-centric world of natural history and science. The history of women field biologists is intertwined with men’s changing views of female intellect and with increasing educational opportunities available to wome...
Forgotten Grasslands of the South
Forgotten Grasslands of the South is a literary and scientific case study of some of the biologically richest and most endangered ecosystems in North America. Eminent ecologist Reed Noss tells the story of how southern grasslands arose and persisted over time and addresses questions that are fundamental for conserving these vital yet poorly understood ecosystems. The author examines: the natural history of southern grasslands their origin and history (geologic, vegetation, and human) biological hotspots and endangered ecosystems physical determinants of grassland distribution, including ecology, soils, landform, and hydrology fire, herbivores, and ecological interactions. The final chapter p...
Seeds
The new edition of Seeds contains new information on many topics discussed in the first edition, such as fruit/seed heteromorphism, breaking of physical dormancy and effects of inbreeding depression on germination. New topics have been added to each chapter, including dichotomous keys to types of seeds and kinds of dormancy; a hierarchical dormancy classification system; role of seed banks in restoration of plant communities; and seed germination in relation to parental effects, pollen competition, local adaption, climate change and karrikinolide in smoke from burning plants. The database for the world biogeography of seed dormancy has been expanded from 3,580 to about 13,600 species. New in...
Vegetation Structural Characteristics at Selected Sites in the Panama Canal Zone and Thailand
A mission of the Degradation Effects Program (DEP), formerly Joint Environmental Effects Program (JEEP), is to extrapolate estimates of lethality and munition effectiveness in DEP test environments to Southeast Asian environments. If these extrapolations are to be reliable it is imperative that the environmental conditions of the test areas be similar to those of Southeast Asia. Accordingly, objective comparisons must be made of DEP test environments and Southeast Asian environments. This report describes and compares some significant vegetation structural characteristics of two selected DEP sites in the Pina and Balboa forests in the Panama Canal Zone (CZ) and four selected sites in two forests and two rubber plantations in Thailand.
