U druhů byla naměřena délka a šířka průduchů a z literatury byly získány údaje o počtu chromozomů a ekologii druhů. Velikost genomu se v rámci čeledi liší 63-krát. Nejmenší genom byl naměřen u Aquilegia canadensis (2C = 0,75 pg), největší u Ranunculus lingua (2C = 47,93 pg). Mezi dvěma hlavními podčeleděmi Ranunculoideae a Thalictroideae je ve velikosti genomu markantní rozdíl (2C = 2,48 – 47,94 pg a 0,75 – 4,04 pg). -

The guidelines are based on: 1) Dr. Patricia M. Holmes, 2003. Management and Restoration Plan for an Area of Tokai Plantation East of Orpen Road and between the Two Car Park Areas. 2) Dr. Patricia M. Holmes, 2004. Management Plan for the Extension of the Core Cape Flats Flora Conservation Site in the Lower Tokai Forest. 3) De Villiers et al, 2005. Ecosystem Guidelines for Environmental Assessment in the Western Cape, 4) Forestry Industry Environmental Committee, 2002. Environmental Guidelines for Commercial Forestry Plantations in South Africa. 5) Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (Act No. 43 of 1983). 6) National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998). 1.1 Management It should be appreciated that restoration is a process that does not happen in one step, but rather in several steps of recovery along a course of natural repair, with occasional interventions being required to redirect this trajectory along the desired path. -

DESCRIPTORS Developing Nations; Educational Resources; Foreign Countries; Schools; Service Learning; *Youth; *Youth Agencies; *Youth Programs IDENTIFIERS Service Providers; *South Africa; Youth Service ABSTRACT With the goal of enhancing cooperation and interaction among youth, youth organizations, and other service providers to the youth sector, this directory aims to give youth, as well as people and organizations involved and interested in youth-related issues, a comprehensive source of information on South African youth organizations and related relevant issues. The directory is divided into three main parts. The first part, which is the background, is introductory comments by President Nelson Mandela and other officials. The second part consists of three directory sections, namely South African youth and children's organizations, South African educational institutions, including technical training colleges, technikons and universities, and South African and international youth organizations. The section on South African youth and children's organizations, the largest section, consists of 44 sectoral chapters, with each organization listed in a sectoral chapter representing its primary activity focus. Each organization is at the same time also cross-referenced with other relevant sectoral chapters, indicated by keywords at the bottom of an entry. -

Table Mountain Fund Signatory Partners SANBI Biodiversity Series 4 Fynbos Fynmense: people making biodiversity work Ally Ashwell Trevor Sandwith Mandy Barnett Asiza Parker Fumanekile Wisani Pretoria 2006 SANBI Biodiversity Series The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) was established on 1 Sep- tember 2004 through the signing into force of the National Environmental Manage- ment: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) No. 10 of 2004 by President Thabo Mbeki. The Act expands the mandate of the former National Botanical Institute to include respon- sibilities relating to the full diversity of South Africa’s fauna and flora, and builds on the internationally respected programmes in conservation, research, education and visitor services developed by the National Botanical Institute and its predecessors over the past century. The vision of SANBI is to be the leading institution in biodiversity science in Africa, facilitating conservation, sustainable use of living resources, and human well-being. SANBI’s mission is to promote the sustainable use, conservation, appreciation and enjoyment of the exceptionally rich biodiversity of South Africa, for the benefit of all people. SANBI Biodiversity Series publishes occasional reports on projects, technologies, workshops, symposia and other activities initiated by or executed in partnership with SANBI.
