A botânica no Brasil
Programação científica composta de 54 simpósios, 37 palestras, 23 mini-cursos e 20 reuniões satélites, envolvendo desde temas de abordagem global até temas e assuntos específicos da botânica e de políticas para o meio ambiente. Estamos proporcionando espaços para discussões sobre ensino, pesquisa e extensão na área da botânica, renovando conhecimentos, trocas de experiências e posicionamentos sobre os novos desafios que se apresentam, visando a conservação da flora brasileira e aos aspectos relacionados ao meio ambiente. Procuramos valorizar os conhecimentos botânicos formais e não formais, em benefício da Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, dos atuais e futuros sócios da comunidade científica e dos formuladores de políticas públicas para conservação da biodiversidade e do meio ambiente.
The Cerrados of Brazil
The massive grasslands of Brazil -- known as the cerrados -- which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.

Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
Review of tropical dry forest biogeography, palaeontology, ecology and ecosystem functions.
Conserving Biodiversity in Arid Regions
On the eve of the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD), held in autumn 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan recommended five specific areas as focal points of discussion for the global forum: Water, energy, health, agriculture and biodiversity. In his address, "Towards a Sustainable Future," delivered just four months before the WSSD, Secretary General Annan contended that concrete progress in each of these areas, often referred to by their acronym WEHAB, would be key to improving the quality of life not only in the developing world but across the globe. For most people, I think it is fair to say that the inclusion of biodiversity in a list that focuses on basic human needs may not be self-evident. Water, energy, health and agriculture, yes. But why biodiversity? The truth is that biodiversity is just as critical to global well-being as water, energy, agriculture and health. This is because biodiversity both drives and shapes nature's intricate and dynamic structure in an enduring form and force that enables both current and future generations to enjoy its bounty.
Tropical Biology and Conservation Management - Volume I
This Encyclopedia of Tropical Biology and Conservation Management is a component of the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Tropical environments cover the most part of still preserved natural areas of the Earth. The greatest biodiversity, as in terms of animals and plants, as microorganisms, is placed in these hot and rainy ecosystems spread up and below the Equator line. Additionally, the most part of food products, with vegetal or animal origin, that sustain nowadays human beings is direct or undirected dependent of tropical productivity. Biodiversity should be looked at and evaluated not only in terms of numb...
