    Claudia Johnson <[email protected]> You're Right to Want a Log or Timber Home 3 messages Josh Beasley <[email protected]> Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 8:32 AM To: [email protected] Dear Claudia, You're right to want a log or timber home! Over the next few emails, we would like to share the top reasons you are correct. Here are the first three... 1. Trees Grow Back When a home is made from solid logs, you are effectively taking the carbon contained in those logs out of environmental circulation over the entire life of the home. Eastern White Pine, which is used for Honest Abe's log homes, is a major species for reforestation, making it a plentiful and renewable resource. 2. They Last a LONG Time If there's any question about the durability of log and timber structures, some still in use today in Europe and Russia have been standing almost a millennium. 3. They're Not Scared of Mother Nature The log and timber home industry has countless stories of these homes surviving the worst Mother Nature deliver. In recent years a couple of Honest Abe's customers survived tornados with their homes and their lives. Read one of the stories here: Alabama Log Home Survives Tornado. We don't want to overwhelm you or your inbox, so in a couple of weeks we'll send more reasons from our list. The information we have suggests you are doing research right now and do not have plans to build soon. However, if you have questions or if we may help in any way, simply reply to this email or call Honest Abe Independent Dealer at .

    VEGETATION MAP FOR THE RIVERSDALE DOMAIN Project Team: Jan Vlok, Regalis Environmental Services, P.O. Box 1512, Oudtshoorn, 6620. Riki de Villiers, CapeNature, Private Bag X5014, Stellenbosch, 7599. Date of report: March 2007 Suggested Reference to maps and report: Vlok, J.H.J. & de Villiers, M.E. 2007. Vegetation map for the Riversdale domain. Unpublished 1:50 000 maps and report supported by CAPE FSP task team and CapeNature. 2 Dedication: For Anne Lise, my dear wife, who motivated so strongly for this study to be done. I sincerely hope that this work will enable her, current and future CapeNature colleagues to contribute more towards the conservation and sustainable use of the biodiversity of the rather remarkable biodiversity of the Riversdale region. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The vegetation of a circa 800 000 ha area in the Riversdale region of the southern Cape was classified and mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 for the CAPE Fine-Scale Conservation Plan task team. The vegetation was mapped as their occurrence was perceived to be in the 17th century, thus before any transformation due to European impacts. The classification system follows a six-tier hierarchy in order to facilitate analyses at biome, habitat type and vegetation unit level. Aquatic and terrestrial systems are recognized, with two biomes within aquatic ecosystems and five biomes within the terrestrial ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems cover approximately 12 percent of the domain and terrestrial ecosystems 88 percent. At habitat level, 47 habitat types are recognized; six are within the aquatic ecosystems and 41 in the terrestrial ecosystems. Brief descriptions and a photograph are provided for each habitat type.

  • Erosive Processes After Tectonic Uplift Stimulate Vicariant
    Bentley et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:27 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/27 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Erosive processes after tectonic uplift stimulate vicariant and adaptive speciation: evolution in an Afrotemperate-endemic paper daisy genus Joanne Bentley1*, G Anthony Verboom1 and Nicola G Bergh2 Abstract Background: The role of tectonic uplift in stimulating speciation in South Africa’s only alpine zone, the Drakensberg, has not been explicitly examined. Tectonic processes may influence speciation both through the creation of novel habitats and by physically isolating plant populations. We use the Afrotemperate endemic daisy genus Macowania to explore the timing and mode (geographic versus adaptive) of speciation in this region. Between sister species pairs we expect high morphological divergence where speciation has happened in sympatry (adaptive) while with geographic (vicariant) speciation we may expect to find less morphological divergence and a greater degree of allopatry. A dated molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for Macowania elucidates species’ relationships and is used to address the potential impact of uplift on diversification. Morphological divergence of a small sample of reproductive and vegetative characters, used as a proxy for adaptive divergence, is measured against species’ range distributions to estimate mode of speciation across two subclades in the genus. Results: The Macowania crown age is consistent with the hypothesis of post-uplift diversification, and we find evidence for both vicariant and adaptive speciation between the two subclades within Macowania. Both subclades exhibit strong signals of range allopatry, suggesting that geographic isolation was important in speciation. One subclade, associated with dry, rocky environments at high altitudes, shows very little morphological and ecological differentiation but high range allopatry.
