  • The Woods of Liberia
    THE WOODS OF LIBERIA October 1959 No. 2159 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE MADISON 5, WISCONSIN In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin THE WOODS OF LIBERIA1 By JEANNETTE M. KRYN, Botanist and E. W. FOBES, Forester Forest Products Laboratory,2 Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture - - - - Introduction The forests of Liberia represent a valuable resource to that country-- especially so because they are renewable. Under good management, these forests will continue to supply mankind with products long after mined resources are exhausted. The vast treeless areas elsewhere in Africa give added emphasis to the economic significance of the forests of Liberia and its neighboring countries in West Africa. The mature forests of Liberia are composed entirely of broadleaf or hardwood tree species. These forests probably covered more than 90 percent of the country in the past, but only about one-third is now covered with them. Another one-third is covered with young forests or reproduction referred to as low bush. The mature, or "high," forests are typical of tropical evergreen or rain forests where rainfall exceeds 60 inches per year without pro­ longed dry periods. Certain species of trees in these forests, such as the cotton tree, are deciduous even when growing in the coastal area of heaviest rainfall, which averages about 190 inches per year. Deciduous species become more prevalent as the rainfall decreases in the interior, where the driest areas average about 70 inches per year. 1The information here reported was prepared in cooperation with the International Cooperation Administration. 2 Maintained at Madison, Wis., in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.

  • 65 Possibly Lost Orchid Treasure of Bangladesh
    J. biodivers. conserv. bioresour. manag. 3(1), 2017 POSSIBLY LOST ORCHID TREASURE OF BANGLADESH AND THEIR ENUMERATION WITH CONSERVATION STATUS Rashid, M. E., M. A. Rahman and M. K. Huda Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Abstract The study aimed at determining the status of occurrence of the orchid treasure of Bangladesh for providing data for Planning National Conservation Strategy and Development of Conservation Management. 54 orchid species are assessed to be presumably lost from the flora of Bangladesh due to environmental degradation and ecosystem depletion. The assessment of their status of occurrence was made based on long term field investigation, collection and identification of orchid taxa; examination and identification of herbarium specimens preserved at CAL, E, K, DACB, DUSH, BFRIH,BCSIRH, HCU; and survey of relevant upto date floristic literature. These species had been recorded from the present Bangladesh territory for more than 50 to 100 years ago, since then no further report of occurrence or collection from elsewhere in Bangladesh is available and could not be located to their recorded localities through field investigations. Of these, 29 species were epiphytic in nature and 25 terrestrial. More than 41% of these taxa are economically very important for their potential medicinal and ornamental values. Enumeration of these orchid taxa is provided with updated nomenclature, bangla name(s) and short annotation with data on habitats, phenology, potential values, recorded locality, global distribution conservation status and list of specimens available in different herbaria. Key words: Orchid species, lost treasure, Bangladesh, conservation status, assessment. INTRODUCTION The orchid species belonging to the family Orchidaceae are represented mostly in the tropical parts of the world by 880 genera and about 26567 species (Cai et al.

  • Ultramafic Geocology of South and Southeast Asia
    Galey et al. Bot Stud (2017) 58:18 DOI 10.1186/s40529-017-0167-9 REVIEW Open Access Ultramafc geoecology of South and Southeast Asia M. L. Galey1, A. van der Ent2,3, M. C. M. Iqbal4 and N. Rajakaruna5,6* Abstract Globally, ultramafc outcrops are renowned for hosting foras with high levels of endemism, including plants with specialised adaptations such as nickel or manganese hyperaccumulation. Soils derived from ultramafc regoliths are generally nutrient-defcient, have major cation imbalances, and have concomitant high concentrations of potentially phytotoxic trace elements, especially nickel. The South and Southeast Asian region has the largest surface occur- rences of ultramafc regoliths in the world, but the geoecology of these outcrops is still poorly studied despite severe conservation threats. Due to the paucity of systematic plant collections in many areas and the lack of georeferenced herbarium records and databased information, it is not possible to determine the distribution of species, levels of end- emism, and the species most threatened. However, site-specifc studies provide insights to the ultramafc geoecology of several locations in South and Southeast Asia. The geoecology of tropical ultramafc regions difers substantially from those in temperate regions in that the vegetation at lower elevations is generally tall forest with relatively low levels of endemism. On ultramafc mountaintops, where the combined forces of edaphic and climatic factors inter- sect, obligate ultramafc species and hyperendemics often occur. Forest clearing, agricultural development, mining, and climate change-related stressors have contributed to rapid and unprecedented loss of ultramafc-associated habitats in the region. The geoecology of the large ultramafc outcrops of Indonesia’s Sulawesi, Obi and Halmahera, and many other smaller outcrops in South and Southeast Asia, remains largely unexplored, and should be prioritised for study and conservation.

  • Chapter 25. the Ecophysiology, Genetics, Adaptive Significance, And
    Chapter 25 The ecophysiology, genetics, adaptive significance, and biotechnology of nickel hyperaccumulation in plants Anthony L. Ferrero1, Peter R. Walsh1 and Nishanta Rajakaruna1,2 1Biological Sciences Department, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, United States, 2Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa 25.1 Introduction Plants are challenged by various environmental stressors that interfere with their biochemical and physiological pro- cesses. Some heavy metals have critical physiological roles [1À3] in plants, but elevated concentrations of these essential heavy metals or exposure to other heavy metals, which lack any known physiological roles, may result in stress via interference with either the function of enzymes or information-coding DNA or RNA in cells [4À6].Some plants are more metal-tolerant than others, and thus heavy metal tolerance has been central to understanding adaptive evolution in plants [7À12] as well as the development of biotechnological fields such as phytoremediation and phyto- mining [13À16]. Some soils, including serpentine soils [17], have naturally high levels of heavy metals, and plants that can withstand these metal-rich soils are known as metallophytes [18,19]. Metallophytes tolerate metals via exclusion or accumulation. Most metallophytes exclude metals by chelation, binding ions to organic acids or other ligands, or by sequestration, storing metals within vacuoles of root cells where they cannot interrupt key cellular processes [20]. Accumulators, on the other hand, concentrate metals in plant parts, especially the epidermal tissues of leaves, whereas excluders generally keep shoot metal levels consistently low over a wide range of soil metal concentrations. Some metallophytes, termed “hyperaccumulators” [21À23], take up and sequester considerably high concentrations of metals in their aboveground tissues, often beyond thresholds that would be lethal to most plants [3].

  • The Phenology of Plants in the Humid Tropics
    The Phenology of Plants in the Humid Tropics P. R. WYCHERLEY1 Abstract Meteorological phenomena (as indicated by cloudiness and hours of bright sunshine) reinforce or modify the relatively small differences in daylength which result from astronomical conditions. Examples of photoperiodism are discussed in relation to this. The 'storm' stimulus (fast-falling temperature and/or breaking of water stress) stimulates anthesis in representatives of several families of flowering plants. The flowering of evergreen forest trees (e.g. Dipterocarpaceae) at irregular intervals is attributed to preceding periods with large diurnal temperature ranges and high maximum temperatures in­ dicating high insolation (which is probably the main inductive factor, because of consequent bio­ chemical conditions associated with accumulation of assimilates and high carbohydrate status). Such flowering is thus not attributed to drought. Flowering in many deciduous trees follows leaf-fall and/or new leaf appearance. Floral initiation may occur during a period when the tree bears only senescent leaves. Leaf abscission, and thus subsequent emergence of new leaves and flowers, appears to be a response to drought. Susceptibility to dry periods in particular seasons, more than in others, may be due to lack of response by new leaves not yet 'hardened' which results in an insensitive period, followed by a phase in which senescence is accelerated by photoperiodic conditions. In this last phase the foliage is sensitized. Following the discovery of vernalization by the chilling of germinating seed (Gassner, 1918) and of photoperiodism or the effect of daylength (Garner and Allard, 1920), the environmental stimuli operative in many flowering plants of the temperate regions have become evident.

After being collected, encoded, statistically treated by NTSYSpc 2.1 program, the morphologic and argonomic traits were analysed based on UPGMA method. The research results revealed that Dendrobium pulchellum, Dendrobium Gatton Sunray and Dendrobium moschatum have a very close relationship, the similarity are at 96,5% and 95%. In addition, Dendrobium anosmum 'Alba' and Dendrobium parishii 'Alba' have a very close relationship, the similarity are at 98%. Similarly, Dendrobium anosmum (Hawaii) and Dendrobium parishii are similarly at 95%. Brassavola nodosa, Brassavola digbyana, and Brassavola ‘Jimminey Cricket’ have close relationship. Besides, nine species belonging to the five different genera Renanthera, Rhynchostylis, Acampe, Aerides and Ascocentrum but they have a close relationship and they can be bred together to create new hybrids with expected characteristics. This phenotypic study proves for classification of the relationships between species of orchids through appearance assessment by data system. This data of relationships will provide us a lot of valuable information to select parents as material sources for breeding hybrids with desirable traits.
