Alpine Ecosystems in the Northwest Caucasus
Author: Vladimir G. OnipchenkoPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402023839
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Plant geographical description of the area, syntaxonomy, spatial patterns, floristic richness, structure of plant communities in relation to soil properties and herbivore influence were described for a mountain region that is difficult to access. Seasonal, inter-annual, and long-term dynamics of vegetation are discussed on the base of long-term observations as well as pollen and phytolith analyses. Population biology of alpine plants is studied by combination of field observations and mathematical modelling. Plant population strategies and soil seed banks are described for alpine plants from several communities. Results of long-term ecological experiments (plant reciprocal transplantations, dominant removals, light limitation) showed the significance of competition and facilitation for community organization. Structure of soil algal and fungal communities is represented as well as mycorrhiza of alpine plants. Main animal groups (wild) history and modern nature conservation problems are discussed.

Plant Biogeography and Vegetation of High Mountains of Central and South-West Asia
Author: Jalil NorooziPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030452123
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This book presents an overview study about plant biogeography and vegetation of the high mountains of Central and South-West Asia, by a group of specialists familiar with its area and plant growth and ecology. This book discusses its ecological and evolutionary drivers and also its conservation priorities. Central and South-West Asia is one of the most diverse areas in the northern hemisphere and several biodiversity hotspots are concentrated in this region. Most of the biodiversity hotspots are associated with high mountain ranges of the region. Moreover, these mountains have been immigration corridors for the Central Asian flora to reach Euro-Siberian and Mediterranean regions. Despite its importance, there is no overview publication to present the plant biogeography and vegetation of these mountains and most of the publications are local or rather imprecise
The Republic of Adygea Environment
Author: Murat K. BedanokovPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030748499
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 714
Book Description
This book outlines the current status of the environment in the Republic of Adygea in Russia. The book assesses the environmental conditions, ecological state, climate and vegetation change, anthropogenic loads to soil, water and atmosphere as well as highlighting the potential of water resources, renewable energy and development of tourism, agriculture and industry in this region. It also presents the mechanisms of legal, ecological and economic regulation and environmental insurance in the Republic of Adygea. This book introduces the Republic of Adygea to readers who are not familiar with the Republic and its beautiful landscapes, history and people. It offers a valuable source of information for a broad readership, from students and scientists interested in environmental sciences, to policymakers and practitioners working in the fields of environmental policy and management.
Experimental Investigation of Alpine Plant Communities in the Northwestern Caucasus
Author: Ecology and Management of Giant Hogweed (Heracleum Mantegazziannum)
Author: Petr PyekPublisher: CABI
ISBN: 1845932064
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This book is a compendium of the current knowledge on the invasive plant, giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) that spread from Caucasus across Europe, creating serious problems displacing and overtaking native plants. Topics covered include: taxonomy, genetics, reproductive ecology, and invasion dynamics at regional and local scales. Intended for students, researchers and practitioners in agriculture, conservation, weed science and plant ecology, this book also reviews the possibilities of mechanical, chemical and biological control, and control by grazing.
