Fifty-one contributions from the June 1993 symposium which saw attendance by some 200 scientists from 16 countries present information concerning the tremendous biodiversity found in the montane regions of the Neotropics and point to both the biological value of these areas and the immediate need for their protection and conservation. Contributions address past and present vegetation; the taxonomic diversity of fungi lichens liverworts and mosses; and of fern allies ferns and flowering plants; the impact of humans in montane environments; and conservation and the future.

20190147122019. NEW. French text edition. Illustrated quarto pp 216 paperback a very good new copy. PRINTING WAS LIMITED TO 200 COPIES. La Guinée-Conakry possède l'une des plus grandes diversités végétales d'Afrique subsaharienne et fait partie de l'écorégion forestière de la Haute Guinée Burgess et al 2004; WWF 2000 et du point chaud de la biodiversité des forêts guinéennes et de l'Afrique de l'ouest CEPF 2015. . Cette diversité est due en partie aux chaînes montagneuses du Fouta Djalon et des monts Loma-Man et Nimba. Ces forêts et prairies d'altitude ont entraîné des espèces endémiques et des schémas de distribution intéressants. Il y a de grandes étendues de forêts de plaine en Guinée Forestière Guinée forestière et certaines zones en Guinée Maritime Guinée côtière bien que la plupart de ces forêts soient très fragmentées et petites moins de 1 km2 la plus grande zone intacte se trouvant autour de la Massif du Kounounkan dans la préfecture de Forécariah. La Guinée est un important fournisseur de bauxite dans le monde et dispose de réserves importantes de minerai de fer à haute teneur. Elle possède également de petites réserves de diamants dor et duranium. En conséquence de vastes zones dexploitation minière à ciel ouvert existent dans le pays et la pression sur les habitats et la végétation augmente avec la nécessité de générer des revenus dans le pays; cela s'ajoute à l'agriculture non durable sur brûlis et à la croissance démographique. Déjà 35 des espèces de plantes les plus rares de Guinée sont peut-être éteintes et 25 de ces espèces sont ou étaient uniques au monde dans l'ensemble de la Guinée. First Edition. Paperback. New.

20190147112019. NEW. Illustrated quarto pp 216 paperback a very good new copy. PRINTING WAS LIMITED TO 100 COPIES. Guinea-Conakry has one of the highest plant diversities in Sub-Saharan West Africa and is part of the Upper Guinean Forest ecoregion Burgess et al 2004; WWF 2000 and the Guinean Forests of West Africa biodiversity hotspot CEPF 2015. This diversity is due in part to the highland ranges of the Fouta Djalon and Loma-Man and Nimba mountains. These high altitude forests and grasslands have resulted in endemic species and interesting distribution patterns. There are large areas of lowland forest in Guinée Forestière Forest Guinea and some areas in Guinée Maritime Coastal Guinea though most of these forests are highly fragmented and small less than 1 km2 the largest intact area is found around the Kounounkan massif in Forécariah Prefecture. Guinea is a major supplier of the worlds bauxite and has significant reserves of high grade iron ore it also has small reserves of diamonds gold and uranium. As a result large areas of open cast mining exist in the country and pressure on habitats and vegetation are increasing with the need to bring revenue into the country; this is in addition to unsustainable slash and burn agriculture and a growing population. Already 35 of Guinea's rarest plant species are possibly extinct and 25 of these species are or were globally unique to Guinea. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback

1991014209Cambridge University Press 1991. Octavo pp xvi 383 a tiny mark to the fore-edge otherwise a very good copy indeed pictorial laminated boards. From the library of Professor Jack Hawkes with his signature on the front endpaper. One of the world centres of crop evolution and origin Ethiopia has long been recognized as an important area of diversity for several major and various minor crops. Based on an international conference held in Addis Ababa this book describes how this genetic diversity is of vital importance in breeding varieties of crops with desirable characteristics such as increased resistance to pests and diseases and greater adaptation to heat and drought. The three main sections in the book consider the Ethiopian centre of diversity germplasm collection and conservation in Ethiopia and the evaluation and utilization of Ethiopian genetic resources. A broad range of food and feed crops and plants of medicinal and industrial importance are discussed both at a national and international level. A brief account of those conservation strategies and genebank problems unique to Ethiopia is also given. The importance of Ethiopia's plant genetic resources to world agriculture has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. First Edition. Boards. Very Good. Cambridge University Press Hardcover
