Plant Biogeography and Vegetation of High Mountains of Central and South-West Asia
This book presents an overview study about plant biogeography and vegetation of the high mountains of Central and South-West Asia, by a group of specialists familiar with its area and plant growth and ecology. This book discusses its ecological and evolutionary drivers and also its conservation priorities. Central and South-West Asia is one of the most diverse areas in the northern hemisphere and several biodiversity hotspots are concentrated in this region. Most of the biodiversity hotspots are associated with high mountain ranges of the region. Moreover, these mountains have been immigration corridors for the Central Asian flora to reach Euro-Siberian and Mediterranean regions. Despite its importance, there is no overview publication to present the plant biogeography and vegetation of these mountains and most of the publications are local or rather imprecise
Endemism in Vascular Plants
The book is the first comprehensive analysis of the macroecology and geobotany of endemic vascular plants with case-studies and analyses from different regions in the world. Endemism is a pre-extinction phenomenon. Endemics are threatened with extinction. Due to international nature conservation policies and due to the perception of the public the concept’s importance is increasing. Endemism can result from different biological and environmental processes. Depending on the process conservation measures should be adapted. Endemic vascular plant taxa, in the setting of their species composition and vegetation types are important features of landscapes and indicators of the quality of relating habitats. The book is an important basis for biologists, ecologists, geographers, planners and managers of nature reserves and national parks, and people generally interested in nature conservation and biogeography of vascular plants.
Manual para el trabajo de campo del proyecto GLORIA
GLORIA, acrónimo de Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments, es decir, la Iniciativa para la Investigación y el Seguimiento Global de los Ambientes Alpinos, es un proyecto internacional de observación a largo plazo para evaluar los impactos del cambio climático sobre la biodiversidad de la alta montaña del planeta. Esta es la quinta versión del manual de campo de GLORIA, que describe con detalle el muestreo básico o estándar del Estudio de las cimas GLORIA, con las pautas para la selección de sitio, instalación de parcelas y recopilación de datos. Además, incluye métodos de las actividades opcionales complementarias y una descripción de otras actividades adicionales que están en marcha o se han iniciado recientemente en el marco de GLORIA.
Forests of Iran
The work describes the general ecological aspects of Iran as well as West and Central Asia in the introduction. The book includes three chapters, each describing the climate, geology and soil characteristics, vegetation and forest types, site demands of the main tree species and the ecogram of them, management and socio-economic issues of three different phytogeographical regions, mainly the Hyrcanian, Irano-Turanian, and Saharo-Sindian. Each chapter contains a table for introducing the English and Botanical names of the plant species mentioned in the chapter. The information presented in this book is based on personal experiences and results of research projects of the authors, as well as experiences of other forest scientists in Iran. The references are given at the end of each chapter separately. The book contains 10 tables, 37 black and white and 55 color pictures.
Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning
This two-volume set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First EAI International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning, ICISML 2022, held in Hyderabad, India, in December 16-17,2022. The 75 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 209 submissions. The conference focuses on Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning Applications in Health care; Digital Forensic & Network Security; Intelligent Communication Wireless Networks; Internet of Things (IoT) Applications; Social Informatics; and Emerging Applications.
Joint Species Distribution Modelling
A comprehensive account of joint species distribution modelling, covering statistical analyses in light of modern community ecology theory.
Innovations in Smart Cities Applications Volume 6
This book highlights original research and recent advances in various fields related to smart cities and their applications. Bringing together new contributions by prominent researchers from around the globe, the book is a rich pedagogical tool and an inspiring research support for courses on computer science, electrical engineering, and urban sciences. The book gathers papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Smart City Applications (SCA 2022), held on October 19–21, 2022, in Castelo Branco, Portugal. The technical program of SCA 2022 consisted of 80 papers. The keynote speakers were Eng. Loide Monteiro (Foundation Smart City Cape Verde), Prof. Teodora Vuckovic (University of Novi Sad), Prof. Susana Sargento (University of Aveiro), Prof. Andy Van Den Dobblesteen (TU Delft), and Prof. Juan Corchado (University of Salamanca). SCA 2022 provided a good forum for all researchers to discuss all aspects of science and technology that are relevant to smart city applications.
Vegetation of the Canary Islands
The volcanic and oceanic nature of the Canary Islands, its rich plant biodiversity and high rate of endemism, as well as the relict character of some of its plant communities make it a territory of great biological interest. The main geographic, climatic, bioclimatic, biogeographic and floristic features of the Islands are shown and related to the distributional pattern of potential communities along an altitudinal gradient. Current vegetation units and their ecology are described and illustrated with numerous pictures. Potential vegetation units are summarized and comprehensive maps of the potential natural vegetation for each island are given. Human impact on the natural landscape, the occurrence of invasive plants, and the probable impact of climate change on the flora and vegetation are discussed. The conservation status of flora and vegetation are assessed. Four appendixes include a syntaxonomical scheme, a brief history of botanical studies and explorations in the Islands, ethnobotanical notes, and a list of selected literature.
