Die Walder der Erde (German, Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1957): J Weck Die Walder der Erde (German, Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1957)

Der Wald ist die machtvollste Entfaltung pflanzlichen Lebens auf der Erdfeste, machtvoll nicht nur im Bild seiner auBeren Er- scheinung, machtvoll vor allem in der unaufhaltsamen Gewalt der Durchsetzung gegenuber anderen Pflanzengesellschaften. Oberall dort, wo die Bedingungen des Makroklimas Baumen ein dauern- des Gedeihen erlauben, verdrangt Wald fruher oder spater die Grasflur, die Heide, das Buschland, erobert er die yom Menschen nicht mehr verteidigten Ackerfluren zuruck, lost sie ab und be- hauptet dann seine Herrschaft. Freilich braucht der Wald ein MindestmaB an Feuchtigkeit und eine zusammenhangende frostfreie Vegetationszeit von minde- stens 60 Tagen im Jahr mit mindestens +IOOC mittlerer Tages- temperatur. Nur unterhalb dieser Grenzen haben Nicht-Wald- Formationen eine sichere Chance, dauernd beherrschend zu blei- ben als Prarie, Steppe, Tundra, Heide oder Dornbusch. Zwar konnen auch innerhalb der Waldklimax - und zwar be- sanders an ihren Grenzen - immer wiederkehrendes Bodenfeuer, Versumpfung, Versalzung, Sanduberwehung und Erosion an steilen Felshiingen den Wald jahrzehnte-, ja jahrhundertelang am FuBfassen hindern. Aber in cler Regel setzt er sich auch hier zu- letzt durch, nachdem Gruppen besonders harter und genugsamer Bodenpflanzen und Straucher, sog. "Pioniergesellschaften", ihm den Boden bereiteten. Dem Wald als Vegetationsform gibt der "Baum" sein augen- falliges Geprage. Ein Baum ist eine Pflanze mit verholzendem Stamm, die eine Scheitelhohe von mindestens 5 m erreichen kann.

Schwermetalle sind von Natur aus in allen Boeden vorhanden. Die jeweiligen Gehalte sind dabei abhangig von den in den bodenbildenden Ausgangsgesteinen vorhandenen Konzentrationen, von den chemischen Eigenschaften der einzelnen Schwermetalle und von der Entwicklungsgeschichte der Boeden. Von einer wirklichen Belastung fur den Boden kann daher nur bei zusatzlich anthropogen verursachtem Schwermetalleintrag gesprochen werden. Der erste Teil des Buches fuhrt in die naturlichen Bodenprozesse sowie in die Chemie der Metalle und deren Analytik ein. Der Hauptteil beinhaltet detaillierte Informationen zu den einzelnen Schwermetallen, deren spezifischen Wechselwirkungen mit Boeden und Pflanzen und zeigt Moeglichkeiten der Melioration bzw. Sanierung auf.

This colorful Victorian book evokes an age gone by, before the days of email and overnight shipping, when communication between people was a very special occasion, made more difficult by time and space. To Victorian letter-writers of the West a new, exotic and secret language came from the East-communicating through flowers. The language of flowers became so refined in the nineteenth century that this dictionary was necessary. Using this source, one could send a message of reproach, passion, friendship, quarrel or a myriad of other sentiments singly and combined via a simple bouquet without ever penning a single word.

Im Vordergrund stehen dabei Fragen wie: Kann eine nachhaltige Land- und Forstbewirtschaftung unter Einbeziehung okologischer, okonomischer und sozialer Aspekte erreicht werden? Was bedeutet dies fur unsere Kulturlandschaft? Welche politischen und betriebswirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen sind erforderlich, um einerseits die Umweltbelastungen zu senken und andererseits die Wettbewerbsfahigkeit langfristig zu gewahrleisten? Welche Chancen bieten hierfur neue Technologien und Markte? Eine kurzgefasste Synthese aus diesen Untersuchungen erschien unter dem Titel "Nachhaltige Land- und Forstwirtschaft: Voraussetzungen, Moglichkeiten, Massnahmen.""

Erstmals in der deutsch- und englischsprachigen Literatur werden - im Gegensatz zu fruheren Werken - bei der Darstellung der Resistenz von Kulturpflanzen gegen tierische Schaderreger sowohl Nematoden, als auch Milben, Insekten und Warmblutler berucksichtigt. Wurde bisher das Stoffgebiet kulturpflanzenspezifisch behandelt, liegt der Schwerpunkt des vorliegenden Buches auf den vielfaltigen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Schaderreger und Pflanze sowie weiteren Komponenten des Pathosystems. Den Betrachtungen zur Resistenz liegt erstmalig eine Aufgliederung des Komplexes in verschiedene Aspekte zugrunde. Dieses Buch wendet sich an Forscher und Studenten auf dem Gebiet des Pflanzenschutzes, der Pflanzenzuchtung und der Phytopathologie."

A beautiful, richly illustrated book on Europe's wild orchids - perhaps the most enigmatic and popular group in the botanical world. The orchid family (Orchidaceae), numbering some 25,000 species, is one of the world's two largest families of flowering plants. Whilst the vast majority of orchids are found in the wet tropics, Europe accommodates c.130 native orchid species which are equally arranged in dense inflorescences of great beauty. Furthermore, the adaptations encountered in some of the European species are just as fascinating as those of their tropical relatives. This book provides an introduction to the native orchids of Europe. It features four sections: 'Structure and systematics', 'Orchids and the environment', 'Orchid portraits' and 'How to learn more'. This part constitutes the bulk of the book, presenting individual genera in a sequence which reflects their most likely evolutionary relationships. Each genus is introduced by one page of text and illustrated by one or more colour plates on the following pages. The text gives information on how to recognise the genus, where it is distributed, and the estimated number of species it contains - alongside information on the range of environmental requirements and flowering times in the European species. Depending on the genus, additional information may be found on topics such as pollination biology, associated fungi, evolutionary relationships or systematic problems. Beautiful watercolour artwork accompanies the text, making this an indispensable gift for anyone interested in the natural world. Not only is it a useful field guide, it is also a beautiful art book.

A collaboration between a master nature photographer and a botanist that celebrates the astonishing varieties of leaves. Leaves are everywhere, appearing in an abundant variety of shapes, colours and textures. They are the unappreciated gifts of nature, worthy of far more extensive study by all. Extraordinary Leaves is a celebration of one of nature's miracles. As Dennis Schrader explains: "To prepare this book, I have been obligated to take a more intimate look at all aspect of leaves - their many uses, their place in history, the science behind what's going on in a leaf and the unadulterated, simple beauty of the leaf itself." Photographer Stephen Green-Armytage discovered the beauty of leaves while browsing in a greenhouse. The more he looked at the intricate patterns, the more fascinated he became. His photography in this book is the result of years of study, and it is strikingly beautiful. Through words and images, Extraordinary Leaves provides an insightful tour. Topics include colour, pattern, texture and shape. Among the specific plants covered are coleus, kale, caladium and ferns.
