Rövid leírás:
To be published in 14 volumes over the next 12 years, The Flora of North America is a unique working resource of taxonomic information to the extraordinary diversity of plant life in the United States and Canada, an area blanketing the continent north of Mexico - including Greenland and the St. Pierre and Miquelon islands. More than 20,000 plant species have been systematically surveyed and classified for this single work which will be essential for anyone with an interest in the distribution, habitat, morphology, and survival of the wide-ranging plant life in the region.
Flora of North America provides a single dependable information resource for protecting rare and endangered species, developing effective plant breeding programmes, conducting biological weed control, and launching and administering other forward-thinking plant management projects in the public and private sector alike. And with ongoing support from its permanent database, it's destined to remain an invaluable botanical reference into the next century and beyond.
This introductory volume comprises a unique series of introductory essays that establish a firm foundation for the flora. Information is given on the physical and biological factors that have affected the evolution and distribution of plant life of North America since the end of the Mesozoic era some 70 million years ago.
Flora of North America Database
Flora of North America has a specially designed computer database that will store, retrieve, search, and update all the taxonomic information published in the flora's 14 original hardcover volumes.
Hosszú leírás:
The Flora of North America will be a unique compendium of taxonomic information about the more than 17,000 species of plants that grow in the United States and Canada. This introductory volume presents information on the physical and biological factors that have affected the evolution and distribution of plant life throughout North America. Essays on such topics as geography, paleofloristics, and human impact are written to summarize current knowledge and to provide access to the relevant literature. The almost 100 drawings that accompany the introductory essays were taken from various 19th and 20th century works. They were chosen in part to illustrate plants mentioned within the text and in part as historical examples of the style and quality of botanical illustration from an earlier era to the present. Future volumes of Flora of North America will contain full descriptions of each species, along with information about the species' habitat, geographical range, and basic ecology.
'The first volumes of FNA are finally out, and what a magnificent production they are. Volume 1 contains many fine essays giving an overview for the flora of The United States, Canada, and Greenland.'
Rudolf Schmid, University of California, Taxon Vol. 43 (February 1994)
