Описание: This book systematically discusses the vegetation dynamics in northern China since the LGM, with a focus on three dominant tree species (Pinus, Quercus and Betula). By integrating methods of palaeoecology, phylogeography and species distribution model, it reconstructs the glacial refugia in northern China, demonstrating that the species were located further north than previously assumed during the LGM. The postglacial dynamics of forest distribution included not only long-distance north-south migration but also local spread from LGM micro-refugia in northern China. On the regional scale, the book shows the altitudinal migration pattern of the three dominant tree genera and the role of topographical factors in the migration of the forest-steppe border. On the catchment scale, it analyzes Huangqihai Lake, located in the forest-steppe ecotone in northern China, to indentify the local forest dynamics response to the Holocene climatic change. It shows that local forests have various modes of response to the climate drying, including shrubland expansion, savannification and replacement of steppe. In brief, these studies at different space-time scales illustrate the effects of climate, topography and other factors on forest migration.

Описание:
This highly informative and nicely illustrated book is the first of its kind to cover all of the vandoid orchid genera in Asia. The content includes; what defines an orchid of monopodial/vandaceous growth; the tremendous variation in plant and flower habit including the considerable array of perfumes; notes and observations on recently proposed generic changes based on first generation molecular technology; the main chapter on 'Selected Genera and Species of the Asian Vandoid Orchids' covers 72 genera and more than 180 species with text descriptions defining each genus and the included reprasentative species with their plant and flower habit/s, countries of distribution and notes on habitat and altitudinal range enhanced with very nice colour photos. The following chapters include miscellaneous notes and other observations on the genus Renanthera accompanied by the proposal of 1 new section and 2 new species which are nicely described and illustrated accompanied further with notes and technical drawings on the little known entity Renanthera moluccana and other species, including the unique pollination syndrome of the sister genus Renantherellaand its type species R. histrionica.
Further, an overview of the genus Ornithochilus is provided with the proposal of 1 new section, the description of 1 new species and 2 new combinations enhanced with many technical drawings of all 9 species and 3 of those are also included in the main chapter with colour photographs. Another 23 new names, combinations and typification's are presented in the genera Arachnis, Cleisocentron, Cleisostoma, Gastrochilus, Grosourdya, Holcoglossum, Pennilabiumand Robiquetia, closing with nomenclatural changes in Amesiella. The final chapter to conclude this nicely illustrated book is an annotated check list of all vandoid orchid genera known to occur in Asia including those tentatively accepted pending the outcome of a comprehensive reanalyses of the subtribe Aeridinae with 'Next Generation Sequencing' molecular technologies. Among the more than 240 quality colour photos are some of the rarest species of vandaceous orchids to occur in Asia. This quality book is a must have for all plant species enthusiasts and anyone with an interest or passion for the vandaceous orchids. ISBN 978-0-9876206-4-4 Soft Cover, Full Colour, 200 pages:

"The hundreds of orchid genera and thousands of species can seem unbelievably complex, but they are beautiful, mysterious, and alluring. Therefore we want reliable ways in which to refer to them—ways that will be understood by those who hear us or read our written communications about these plants. The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Illustrated Dictionary of Orchid Genera will become a convenient reference for those many people who are fascinated by orchids. By referring to this guide, one can find a secure mooring for any species of orchid, one that makes it possible to understand its relatives and its place in the galaxy of orchid variation."—from the Foreword by Peter H. Raven
The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Illustrated Dictionary of Orchid Genera is the most comprehensive and extensively illustrated account of orchid genera to date. Its concise entries provide details of nomenclature, classification, original publication, etymology, and geographic range, along with a brief description and color images of representative flowers.
The dictionary describes not only all of the 850 orchid genera that are recognized today but also those genera known only from fossil records, published before Linnaeus, validly published (but not accepted), and invalidly published according to the standards of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, as well as those that have variant names or spellings. In addition to the alphabetic entries, this dictionary includes an introduction to orchid biology, a glossary, a list of taxonomists credited with publishing new orchid genera, key references and bibliographical abbreviation list, and the governing nomenclature rules. The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Illustrated Dictionary of Orchid Genera also features a Foreword by Peter H. Raven and an Introduction on the biology of orchids by David Benzing that describes the August 2007 discovery of the world's oldest unequivically orchidaceous fossil.
The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, are extensive botanical gardens dedicated to research and collections of epiphytes, especially orchids and bromeliads, and their canopy ecosystems. The Gardens maintain the most diverse collection of bromeliads in the world and feature over 20,000 plants from some 6,000 species in 1,200 genera from 214 plant families, including 6,000 live orchids. This monumental work is yet another manifestation of the collection—an extension of the Gardens into print.
