Deserts are unique ecosystems with their own biotic and abiotic
components, and are often rich in renewable natural resources, the
appropriate management of which can contribute significantly to the
sustainable management of desert regions for the welfare of the
people. Yet while there are many books on the flora of the
countries fringing the important desert countries of the
Mediterranean and Red Seas, there or few books reporting on their
ecophysiology and vegetation ecology. This book presents the
vegetation types of the African and Asian countries of the
Mediterranean and Red Sea coastal regions, and discusses the
ecological threats and economic applications of these critical
resources. In particular, it examines the relationships between
climate and vegetation, and discusses these within the context of
desertification, agro-industrial applications, ecotourism and
sustainable development. The book will provide a valuable reference
for researchers and graduate students involved in plant ecology,
biogeography, economic botany and environmental management in the
Afro-Asian Mediterranean and Red Sea coastal regions, as well as
other desert regions around the world.
