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

2015010223Kota Kinabalu 2015. Very well illustrated pp x 278 a very good new copy. Malesia is the botanical region comprising Brunei Darussalam Indonesia Malaysia Papua New Guinea the Philippines Singapore and Timor Leste. The seed plants of this biologically super-rich region probably include over 41000 species which botanical work seeks to discover and document. The process of getting to understand plant life and planning appropriate strategies for both utilisation and conservation depends in a very fundamental way on first knowing its components and being able to identify plant families genera and species. While the technical expertise for plant taxonomy may be highly specialised the use of spot-characters - features of the plants that may be characteristic for a species alliance or group and which may be constant enough to rely on for identification - can often help. Here the authors have compiled lists of seed plants for as many as 119 spot-characters that they have found useful in their work on identification as an additional tool in our arsenal for tracking down the identities of Malesian seed plants. The characters range from growth form and vegetative characters such as stem and branch characteristics and leaf arrangement as well as a range of features of inflorescences flowers fruits and seeds. This book should be useful for students foresters botanists and anyone who seeks to identify and know the seed plants of Malesia. It emphasises characters that are found on herbarium specimens dried plant material routinely preserved to form the herbariums scientific archive many of which are also easily observable in fresh material but includes a number of commonly noted "field characters" found only in the living plant but which collectors commonly mention in their collecting labels as well. Most of the characters are illustrated by photographs. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback
