Robinson, Richard, 1956- QK49.P52 2000 580—dc21 00—046064 Preface Someone once said that if you want to find an alien life form, just go into your backyard and grab the first green thing you see. Although plants evolved on Earth along with the rest of us, they really are about as differ- ent and strange and wonderful a group of creatures as one is likely to find anywhere in the universe. The World of Plants Consider for a minute just how different plants are. They have no mouths, no eyes or ears, no brain, no muscles. They stand still for their en- tire lives, planted in the soil like enormous drinking straws wicking gallon after gallon of water from the earth to the atmosphere. Plants live on little more than water, air, and sunshine and have mastered the trick of trans- muting these simple things into almost everything they (and we) need. In this encyclopedia, readers will find out how plants accomplish this photo- synthetic alchemy and learn about the extraordinary variety of form and function within the plant kingdom. In addition, readers will be able to trace ✶Explore further in Photosynthesis, Light their 450-million-year history and diversification, from the very first prim- Reactions and Evolution itive land plants to the more than 250,000 species living today. of Plants All animals ultimately depend on photosynthesis for their food, and hu- mans are no exception. Over the past ten thousand years, we have cultivated such an intimate relationship with a few species of grains that it is hardly an exaggeration to say, in the words of one scientist, that “humans domes- ticated wheat, and vice versa.” With the help of agriculture, humans were transformed from a nomadic, hunting and gathering species numbering in the low millions, into the most dominant species on the planet, with a pop- ulation that currently exceeds six billion. Agriculture has shaped human cul- ture profoundly, and together the two have reshaped the planet. In this en- cyclopedia, readers can explore the history of agriculture, learn how it is practiced today, both conventionally and organically, and what the impact ✶Explore further in of it and other human activities has been on the land, the atmosphere, and Agriculture, Modern and the other creatures who share the planet with us. Human Impacts Throughout history—even before the development of the modern sci- entific method—humans experimented with plants, finding the ones that provided the best meal, the strongest fiber, or the sweetest wine. Naming a thing is such a basic and powerful way of knowing it that all cultures have created some type of taxonomy for the plants they use. The scientific un- derstanding of plants through experimentation, and the development of ra- v Preface tional classification schemes based on evolution, has a rich history that is explored in detail in this encyclopedia. There are biographies of more than two dozen botanists who shaped our modern understanding, and essays on the history of physiology, ecology, taxonomy, and evolution. Across the spec- ✶Explore further in trum of the botanical sciences, progress has accelerated in the last two Ecology, History of; Biodiversity; and decades, and a range of entries describe the still-changing understanding of Phylogeny evolutionary relationships, genetic control, and biodiversity. With the development of our modern scientific society, a wide range of new careers has opened up for people interested in plant sciences, many of which are described in this encyclopedia. Most of these Jobs require a col- lege degree, and the better-paying ones often require advanced training.

Organization of the Material Each of the 280 entries in Plant Sciences has been newly commissioned for this work. Our contributors are drawn from academic and research in- stitutions, industry, and nonprofit organizations throughout North Amer- ica. In many cases, the authors literally “wrote the book” on their subject, and all have brought their expertise to bear in writing authoritative, up-to- date entries that are nonetheless accessible to high school students. Almost every entry is illustrated and there are numerous photos, tables, boxes, and sidebars to enhance understanding. Unfamiliar terms are highlighted and defined in the margin. Most entries are followed by a list of related articles and a short reading list for readers seeking more information. Front and back matter include a geologic timescale, a topic outline that groups entries thematically, and a glossary. Each volume has its own index, and volume 4 contains a cumulative index covering the entire encyclopedia. Acknowledgments and Thanks I wish to thank the many people at Macmillan Reference USA and the Gale Group for their leadership in bringing this work to fruition, and their assiduous attention to the many details that make such a work possible. In particular, thanks to Hélène Potter, Brian Kinsey, Betz Des Chenes, and Diane Sawinski. The editorial board members—Robert Evans, Wendy Mechaber, and Robert Wallace—were outstanding, providing invaluable ex- pertise and extraordinary hard work. Wendy is also my wife, and I wish to thank her for her support and encouragement throughout this project. My own love of plants began with three outstanding biology teachers, Marjorie Holland, James Howell, and Walt Tulecke, and I am in their debt. My many students at the Commonwealth School in Boston were also great teachers— their enthusiastic questions over the years deepened my own understanding and appreciation of the mysteries of the plant world. I hope that a new gen- eration of students can discover some of the excitement and mystery of this world in Plant Sciences.

    10/23/2014 The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation Category: Vol. 3, 2009 The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation Written by Stephanie Smith and Steve Mark Hits: 10184 The South Shore Journal, Vol. 3, 2009, pp.1-10. Stephanie Smith - Indiana University Northwest Steve Mark - Chicago, Illinois Abstract The present article highlights the impact that scientists, educators, and activists of the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area had on the conservation of land. The habitat and ecosystems of the Indiana Dunes were deemed to be of scientific interest by Henry Cowles, who led an international group of ecologists to visit the area in 1913. This meeting resulted in the formation of the Ecological Society of America, an offshoot of which eventually became The Nature Conservancy. It was only when preservation efforts expanded their focus from scientists attempting to prove that habitats were worthy of preservation to include contributions by people from all walks of life, did conservation take off. Keywords: The Nature Conservancy, Ecologists Union, Volo Bog The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation …There is not a sufficient number of scientific people as voters to enthuse the politicians… …. (Garland, 1954). In the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, Henry Chandler Cowles, a botanist at the University of Chicago, published a number of scientific papers on ecological succession from research conducted in the sand dunes of northwestern Indiana (e.g., Cowles, 1899; Cowles, 1901).

C-2 ATTACHMENT 2: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR ASIAN CARP POPULATION SIZES ............. C-237 C-1 Attachment 1: Probability of Establishment Introduction This appendix describes the process by which the probabilities of establishment (P(establishment)) for Asian carp (both Bighead and Silver carp) and A. lacustre were estimated, as well as the results of that process. Each species is addressed separately, with the Bighead and Silver carp process described first, followed by the A. lacustre process. Each species narrative is developed as follows: • Estimating P(establishment) • The Experts • The Elicitation • The Model • The Composite Expert • The Results o Probability of Establishment If No New Federal Action Is Taken (No New Federal Action Alternative) o P(establishment) Estimates by expert associated with each alternative Using Individual Expert Opinions o P(establishment) Estimates by alternative Using Individual Expert Opinions • Comparison of the Technology and Nonstructural Alternative to the No New Federal Action Alternative Bighead and Silver Carp Estimating P(establishment) The GLMRIS Risk Assessment provided qualitative estimates of the P(establishment) of Bighead and Silver Carp. The overall P(establishment) was defined in that document as consisting of five probability values using conditional notation: P(establishment) = P(pathway) x P(arrival|pathway) x P(passage|arrival) x P(colonization|passage) x P(spread|colonization) Each of the probability element values assumes that the preceeding element has occurred (e.g.

  • The Emergence of Ecology from Natural History Keith R
    The emergence of ecology from natural history Keith R. Benson The modern discipline of biology was formed in the 20th century from roots deep in the natural-history tradition, which dates from Aristotle. Not surprisingly, therefore, ecology can also be traced to natural history, especially its 19th-century tradition emphasizing the adaptive nature of organisms to their environment. During the 20th century, ecology has developed and matured from pioneering work on successional stages to mathematically rich work on ecosystem energetics. By the end of the century, ecology has made a return to its natural-history heritage, emphasizing the importance of the integrity of ecosystems in considering human interactions with the environment. Today, the field of biology includes a vast array of diver- like molecular biology, ecology emerged as a distinct gent and unique subdisciplines, ranging from molecular area in biology only at the turn of the century but very biology to comparative endocrinology. With very few quickly developed its own conventions of biological exceptions, most of these specialty areas were created by discourse. Unlike molecular biology and several other biologists during the 20th century, giving modern biology biological subsciplines, ecology’s roots are buried deep its distinctive and exciting character1. However, before within natural history, the descriptive and often romantic 1900, the field was much different because even the term tradition of studying the productions of nature. biology was seldom used2. Indeed, most of those who studied the plants and animals scattered over the earth’s Perspectives on the natural world before the surface referred to themselves as naturalists: students of 20th century natural history3.

Turk Jennifer M. Boyd Neslihan Alp Associate Professor of Biological and Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Environmental Sciences Science (Chair) (Committee Member) Adam J. Dattilo Graduate Faculty Member of Biological and Environmental Sciences (Committee Member) ASSESSING THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF NATIVE PLANT SPECIES FOR ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE RIGHT-OF-WAY REVEGETATION WITHIN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY POWER SERVICE AREA By Joseph R. Turk A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Science: Environmental Science The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Tennessee May 2015 ii ABSTRACT The safe operation of electric transmission lines necessitates the suppression of tall, woody vegetation on associated rights-of-way (ROWs). Native warm season grasses (NWSG) are more expensive for ROW revegetation compared to typical exotic cool season grasses (ECSG), but they may alter the successional trajectory such that long-term maintenance costs are reduced. I conducted a cost-benefit analysis to determine if ROW revegetation with NWSG is cost effective compared to ECSG. I synthesized cost information obtained from the Tennessee Valley Authority regarding ROW planting and maintenance and data collected from a feasibility study of ROWs planted with NWSG. Revegetation with NWSG was found to be 6% more expensive than ECSG. The degree of woody suppression to make NWSG a worthwhile investment was found to be 12-21% using a break-even analysis.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106 - 1346 Abstract Between 1961 and 1975, the United States established thirteen of the nation’s fourteen National Seashores and Lakeshores. This unprecedented, nation-wide initiative to conserve America’s coasts transformed how the National Park Service made parks, catalyzed the shift in conservation definitions in America, and created new conservation coalitions that paved the way for the environmental movement. The Department of the Interior began shoreline park establishment as a concerted effort to protect the nation’s more natural shores from the tourist development rapidly covering American coasts in the post-World War II period. The Park Service’s urgency on coastal conservation arose from concerns of overdevelopment, overpopulation, and overuse.

  • Reading the Book of Nature May Theilgaard Watts and the Art of (Teaching) Ecology
    Faculty Research Leave Application Michael A. Bryson Associate Professor of Humanities and Sustainability Studies College of Professional Studies Submitted 2 November 2012 / Approved 16 January 2013 Reading the Book of Nature May Theilgaard Watts and the Art of (Teaching) Ecology Project Overview and Major Goals This project focuses on one of the most influential and remarkable voices in the environmental history of the Chicago Region: May Theilgaard Watts (1893-1975), whose writings, environmental education work, public outreach, and conservation advocacy dramatically shaped both the landscape itself as well as human perceptions of urban and suburban environments. A student of pioneering University of Chicago scientist Henry Chandler Cowles, who led the development of ecology as a scientific discipline with his work on plant community succession in the Indiana Dunes, Watts became an expert at "reading the landscape" through the lenses of ecology and botany. Possessed of an uncanny and singular ability to explain complex ecological relationships and processes, Watts perfected the art of interpreting stories of environmental change through observation and analysis of physical evidence -- plants, animal tracks, soil, water, rooflines, roads -- within both the natural and built environment. While she was widely traveled (and published one of her major books about her explorations of Europe), most of Watts' time and energy focused on the Chicago region, where she was the first naturalist-educator at the renowned Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. In this capacity, Watts not only led hundreds of education programs for children, adults, and aspiring naturalists; but also performed ecological research, developed educational materials and 2 curricula, and mentored many fellow educators and nature interpreters who specifically sought out her expertise.
