Pages : 519
Book Description
Bringing together results from over 30 years of research on the Juan Fernández Archipelago off the coast of Chile, this book offers comprehensive coverage of the plants of these special islands. Despite its remote setting in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, the Juan Fernández Archipelago is in many ways an ideal place to ask and attempt to answer basic questions regarding the evolution of vascular plants in an oceanic island environment. By building upon a firm taxonomic base for the flora, a new level of understanding regarding evolution, biogeography, and conservation of the plants is presented. This book is an extensive investigation of the origin and evolution of the flora of an oceanic archipelago, and it serves as a valuable resource for researchers and scholars of island biology as well as for conservation biologists worldwide.

Book Description
This book signaled a shift in the understanding of the global reorganization of biological species during the Anthropocene. The encouragement of acclimatization and naturalization of new species gave way to managing the ramifications of the changes that introductions bought to ecologies, landscapes and environments. The 19th century environments of the new world - land and sea - became testing grounds for the introduction of new assemblages of people and plants, economies and animals, cultures and coastlines. But some species became out-of-control threats to environments across the globe. These changes have enduring impacts, some adverse, some beneficial, that are dynamic, unpredictable and often oscillating.
