The Botany of Mangroves

Mangroves are distinctive tropical plant communities that occupy the intertidal zone between sea and land. They are of major ecological importance, have economic value as a source of food and raw materials, and serve as a buffer from flooding and climate change-induced sea level rise. Mangroves are under threat from pollution, clearance and over-exploitation, and increasing concern has driven demand for an improved understanding of mangrove species. This book provides an introduction to mangroves, including their taxonomy, habitat-specific features, reproduction and socio-economic value. Fully updated to reflect the last two decades of research, this new edition of a key text includes newly documented taxa, new understandings of vivipary and the evolution of mangrove species, and a rich set of colour illustrations. It will appeal to researchers and students across a range of disciplines, including botany, ecology and zoology.

  • Publisher: Unknown

This book provides an in-depth analysis of research done in the past 30 years on the anatomy and morphology of palms, presenting an integrated view of this highly distinctive plant form. The work goes beyond simple description to show the interrelationships between functional processes that are usually treated independently. Functional morphology and development are emphasized and each organ of the plant is examined. Readers will find a comprehensive, systematic picture of how the palm "works" through the volume's in-depth examination of the plant's life cycle, as well as convenient summaries of recent literature on palm biology, and discussion of the palm's relationship to other flowering plants.
