The Pilbara region in Australia's arid northwest is rich in flora
that is suited to extreme temperatures and boom and bust cycles of
moisture availability. It is also a region important for its
natural resources. In places where mining activities have finished
and the land is under management for ecological restoration, there
is increasing demand for information about native plant communities
and the biology of their seeds. Pilbara Seed Atlas and Field Guide
is the first book to combine plant identification with robust,
scientific criteria for cost-effective seed-based rehabilitation.
It describes 103 regional plant taxa and provides guidelines for
effective collection, cleaning, storage and germination of their
seeds. It addresses issues such as timing of collection, quality
and viability of seed, and dormancy release, which are essential
for successful restoration programs. With photographs to portray
the subtle differences and unique features of each species'
biology, this book will be of great use to practitioners in the
field, including environmental consultants, rehabilitation
companies, commercial seed collectors and government authorities,
as well as naturalists and people interested in growing the
Pilbara's remarkable plants.
