While scientific and socio-political communities around the world
are aware of the natural and economic importance of biodiversity,
we are faced with an ever-increasing number of plant species under
threat of extinction. Conservation is thus a vital part of the
plant scientist's work, in the field, in botanic gardens and in
universities. This colour atlas has been conceived to integrate the
dual botanical themes of plant propagation and conservation.
Various texts deal with propagation, in vivo and in vitro, and with
aspects of conservation, but none marries the two themes, let alone
a book which uses the concise, focused colour atlas approach. Each
of the chapters has been written by an acknowledged international
authority on the subject, under the editorship of Dr Bryan Bowes
whose Colour Guide to Plant Structure (2nd edition 2008) is already
highly successful. Topics range from the history and likely future
of conservation and the effects of human activity on plant
diversity, to the practical techniques of collection, preservation,
germination, propagation and management of plant populations in the
laboratory and in the field. The text is referenced and is
illustrated throughout by colour photos and photomicrographs of the
highest quality. It appeals worldwide to students of conservation,
plant science and biology, and to professionals and academics,
plant propagators, ecologists, and conservationists working in
botanic gardens, universities and colleges, in field research and
in nurseries specialising in indigenous plants.
