Ecologists and biogeographers have been intrigued for a long time
by the striking similarity of the vegetation and flora of southern
temperate zone regions separated by large oceans. These scientists
have been particularly interested in the occurrence in these
regions of Nothofagus--southern beeches. This book, which focuses
on the distribution, history, and ecology of the genus Nothofagus,
provides a key to understanding the historical plant geography and
modern vegetation patterns of the southern hemisphere. The book
begins with a discussion of the long-term and broad-scale patterns
of origin and differentiation in the genus. Next each major
Nothofagus biome is discussed, first in a chapter that considers
contemporary ecological patterns and then in a chapter that focuses
on the history and paleoecology of the region. Authorities in the
field deal with the temperate zone of the southwest Pacific region
(New Zealand and Australia); the adjacent tropical zone of the
southwest Pacific (New Guinea and New Caledonia); and South
America, ranging from the Mediterranean-type climate region of
central Chile to the subantarctic latitudes of Tierra del Fuego.
