Antropocoria: florestas neotropicales Juan Carlos Guix Con frecuencia se asocia la floresta amazónica u otros tipos de selvas tropicales con la noción de una “naturaleza virgen”. Sin embargo, las florestas tropicales y subtropicales del Neotrópico están habitadas desde hace más de 14.000 años por pueblos indígenas, y estos a su vez han producido cambios apreciables en las comunidades de plantas de estos ecosistemas. La diseminación de semillas grandes en florestas neotropicales Los humanos y las redes de interacciones animal-planta De un modo general, las interacciones entre los humanos modernos (Homo sapiens) y los sistemas de diseminación de semillas han sido expresadas en forma de impactos antropogénicos relacionados con la fragmentación de hábitats, la sobrecaza y la extinción, a escala local o regional, de frugívoros de medio y gran porte (cf. -
Diversity, Above-Ground Biomass, and Vegetation Patterns in a Tropical Dry Forest in Kimbi-Fungom National Park, Cameroon

Sainge a,*, Felix Nchu b, A. Townsend Peterson c a Department of Environmental and Occupational Studies, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town 8000, South Africa b Department of Horticultural Sciences, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Bellville 7535, South Africa c Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, 66045, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Research highlights: This study is one of few detailed analyses of plant diversity and vegetation patterns in African Ecological restoration dry forests. We established permanent plots to characterize plant diversity, above-ground biomass, and vegetation Flora patterns in a tropical dry forest in Kimbi-Fungom National Park, Cameroon. Our results contribute to long-term Environmental assessment monitoring, predictions, and management of dry forest ecosystems, which are often vulnerable to anthropogenic Environmental health pressures. Environmental impact assessment Dry forest Background and objectives: Considerable consensus exists regarding the importance of dry forests in species di- Bamenda highlands versity and carbon storage; however, the relationship between dry forest tree species composition, species rich- Kimbi-Fungom National Park ness, and carbon stock is not well established. Also, simple baseline data on plant diversity are scarce for many dry Carbon forest ecosystems. This study seeks to characterize floristic diversity, vegetation patterns, and tree diversity in Semi-deciduous permanent plots in a tropical dry forest in Northwestern Cameroon (Kimbi-Fungom National Park) for the first Tree composition time. -

Este trabalho é parte da série de monografias taxonômicas de famílias ocorrentes em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica da Usina São José (USJ), Igarassu, Pernambuco. Aqui são apresentados os tratamentos de quatro famílias da ordem Malpighiales: Chrysobalanaceae, Humiriaceae, Lacistemataceae e Trigoniaceae. Coletas foram realizadas em seis fragmentos, entre 2009 e 2017, além de visitas a herbários. Foram reconhecidos nove taxa: Chrysobalanaceae está representada por seis espécies, e as demais famílias por uma espécie cada. As espécies no geral são amplamente distribuídas na América do Sul, com exceção de Couepia rufa, Moquilea tomentosa e Lacistema robustum, que são endêmicas da Mata Atlântica. Uma chave para espécies, descrições, comentários e ilustrações também são fornecidas. Palavras-chave: Malpighiales, Mata Atlântica, taxonomia. Abstract Malpighiales comprises 36 families with large morphological heterogeneity and is represented by several species in the Atlantic rain forest along the Brazilian coast. This article is part of a series of taxonomic monographs of families occurring on fragments of Atlantic Forest from Usina São José (USJ), Igarassu, Pernambuco. Treatments to four families of Malpighiales are presented: Chrysobalanaceae, Humiriaceae, Lacistemataceae and Trigoniaceae.

Parinari Curatellifolia Benth
International Master Programme at the Swedish Biodiversity Centre Master’s thesis No. 67 Uppsala 2009 Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda, the case of Parinari curatellifolia Richard Mawula Supervisor Dr. Jens Weibull CBM MASTER THESES SERIES Mawula R/ Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda CBM Master’s Thesis No. 67 - 1 - Mawula R/ Regeneration of threatened indigenous fruit species in Uganda Abstract Indigenous wild fruits and, or underutilised plant species are of high importance for nutrition, beverages, and pharmaceuticals values. They provide invaluable benefits to the entire biosphere: including but not limited to climate regulation in terms of rainfall cycle, oxygen supply and carbon sequestration, and provide fodder to both wild and domestic animal herds. The Mobola plum tree, Parinari curatellifolia Benth. is one such under-utilised species that serves as a key source of household income particularly in rural areas in Uganda. It has versatile usages ranging from medicinal herbs with large food dietary values to the intensive sale of charcoal and wood fuel in urban centres, and construction materials for human settlement. The study objective was to investigate P. curatellifolia’s seed germination to improve its conservation and sustainable utilisation in Uganda. The current research study focused on two major areas of P. curatellifolia regeneration: (1) regeneration in nature, (2) regeneration under laboratory conditions of (a) seed (sexual) regeneration and (b) cuttings (vegetative) regeneration and (c) direct sowing. Previously published results also confirmed difficulties in germinating P. curatellifolia seeds. Hence the need to undertake this research study aimed at understanding best ways to regenerate the species both in nature and laboratory-based conditions. -

Contact information(Optional- Comments can be provided anonymously) Surname: Sookdeo Given Name: Kris Organization: Trinidad & Tobago Field Naturalists’ Club Address: P.O. Box 642, Port of Spain. Phone Number: 749-9638 Fax Number: E-mail: [email protected] General Comments Amphibians: The treatment of amphibians (except the GTF) by placing the group in the Fifth Schedule is unusual to say the least. They should be offered protection as well. Research Permits: Section 85 - Clarification of "no research whatsoever" is required. It seems a strange priority when quarrying, illegal hunting, deforestation and pollution are far greater concerns to T&T's wildlife than scientists, and it would be a real shame if useful science (including that with conservation applications) is impeded by unnecessarily cumbersome procedures. Invasive Species: While the issue of invasive species may be dealt with elsewhere, some of the basic 1 offences should be listed. In addition to a schedule for invasive species, we would like it to become an Page offence for anyone to introduce any of these invasive plants or animals into the country. Hunting Season: It does not appear that the open and closed seasons have been declared. Waterfowl Hunting. Freshwater habitats have disappeared quickly since the collapse of the rice industry.
