The Ecology and Biogeography of Nothofagus Forests
Ecologists and biogeographers have been intrigued for a long time by the striking similarity of the vegetation and flora of southern temperate zone regions separated by large oceans. These scientists have been particularly interested in the occurrence in these regions of Nothofagus--southern beeches. This book, which focuses on the distribution, history, and ecology of the genus Nothofagus, provides a key to understanding the historical plant geography and modern vegetation patterns of the southern hemisphere. The book begins with a discussion of the long-term and broad-scale patterns of origin and differentiation in the genus. Next each major Nothofagus biome is discussed, first in a chapter that considers contemporary ecological patterns and then in a chapter that focuses on the history and paleoecology of the region. Authorities in the field deal with the temperate zone of the southwest Pacific region (New Zealand and Australia); the adjacent tropical zone of the southwest Pacific (New Guinea and New Caledonia); and South America, ranging from the Mediterranean-type climate region of central Chile to the subantarctic latitudes of Tierra del Fuego.
Gente forzada del rey
El delincuente pasa por tres estadios. Primero es preso en una cárcel hasta que se determine su culpabilidad y se dicte una pena. El segundo estadio es el de rematado, dictada sentencia: hay que esperar su traslado al lugar donde cumplirá la pena. Si la sentencia es de muerte, será el patíbulo quien ponga final al proceso. Pero lo habitual es que inicie un viaje hacia plazas tan lejanas como Orán, La Habana o Manila. Cuando llega a destino comienza su tercer estadio: el de presidiario, que resume a su vez muchas posibles trayectorias. Este libro contempla los tres estadios a través de un amplio abanico de fuentes, que documentan tanto los procedimientos de las instituciones encargadas de la custodia de los presos, del tránsito de los rematados o del trabajo de los presidiarios como la voz de los reos a través de sus memoriales. La época analizada: el final del Antiguo Régimen, de los últimos años de Carlos III al advenimiento de Fernando VII, con la guerra de Independencia en medio. El análisis en paralelo de las obras jurídicas coetáneas permite contemplar la distancia que media entre la norma y aplicación efectiva en una época llena de dificultades
Earth System Responses to Global Change
This book examines the differences and similarities in the earth system components - the ocean, atmosphere, and the land - between western portions of the northern and southern Western Hemispheres, past, present, and projected. The book carefully examines the physical and biological patterns and responses of given biomes, or ecological communities in the two regions. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship of physicial and biotic systems to biogeochemistry and the evolving biota patterns of land margins and surfaces. The text concludes with an assessment of the direct impact on humans on these biomes, giving full consideration to the land-use drivers of global change.* Integrated view of earth system processes on the west coasts of North and South America
