The Framework Species Approach to Forest Restoration: Using Functional Traits As Predictors of Species Performance
- 1 - The Framework Species Approach to forest restoration: using functional traits as predictors of species performance. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Hannah Betts July 2013 - 2 - - 3 - Abstract Due to forest degradation and loss, the use of ecological restoration techniques has become of particular interest in recent years. One such method is the Framework Species Approach (FSA), which was developed in Queensland, Australia. The Framework Species Approach involves a single planting (approximately 30 species) of both early and late successional species. Species planted must survive in the harsh conditions of an open site as well as fulfilling the functions of; (a) fast growth of a broad dense canopy to shade out weeds and reduce the chance of forest fire, (b) early production of flowers or fleshy fruits to attract seed dispersers and kick start animal-mediated seed distribution to the degraded site. The Framework Species Approach has recently been used as part of a restoration project in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park in northern Thailand by the Forest Restoration Research Unit (FORRU) of Chiang Mai University. FORRU have undertaken a number of trials on species performance in the nursery and the field to select appropriate species. However, this has been time-consuming and labour- intensive. It has been suggested that the need for such trials may be reduced by the pre-selection of species using their functional traits as predictors of future performance. Here, seed, leaf and wood functional traits were analysed against predictions from ecological models such as the CSR Triangle and the pioneer concept to assess the extent to which such models described the ecological strategies exhibited by woody species in the seasonally-dry tropical forests of northern Thailand. -
Revision of the Genus Cleidion (Euphorbiaceae) in Malesia
BLUMEA 50: 197–219 Published on 22 April 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X623373 REVISION OF THE GENUS CLEIDION (EUPHORBIACEAE) IN MALESIA KRISTO K.M. KULJU & PETER C. VAN WELZEN Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] SUMMARY A revision of the Malesian species in the genus Cleidion is presented. Cleidion javanicum is shown to be the correct name for the widespread type species (instead of the name C. spiciflorum). A new species, C. luziae, resembling C. javanicum, is described from the Moluccas, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. In addition, C. salomonis is synonymised with C. papuanum and C. lanceolatum is treated as a variety of C. ramosii. In total 7 Malesian Cleidion species are recognized. Cleidion megistophyllum from the Philippines cannot reliably be confirmed to belong to the genus due to lack of information and specimens and is treated as a doubtful species. Key words: Cleidion, Acalypheae, Cleidiinae, revision, taxonomy, Malesia. INTRODUCTION Cleidion is a pantropical genus belonging to the large angiosperm family Euphorbiaceae s.s. It was described by Blume (1825), who included a single species C. javanicum1. The first revision was made by Müller Argoviensis (1865, 1866). His work was fol- lowed by the comprehensive treatment of Pax & Hoffmann (1914), which included 17 species. Pax & Hoffmann excluded the section Discocleidion Müll.Arg. which differs from Cleidion by the presence of a staminate and pistillate disc (in Cleidion a disc is absent), stipellate and palmatinerved leaves (in Cleidion the leaves are non-stipellate and pinnatinerved), and differences in anther type. -

Aphanamixis polystachya R.N. Parker (Wall.) belongs to the family Meliaceae and it is a traditional plantnative to Asia, especially China and India. It is extensively used in folklore medicine of Bangladesh, for the treatment of various ailments like in liver and spleen disorders, tumors, ulcer, dyspepsia, intestinal worms, skin diseases, leprosy, diabetes, eye diseases, jaundice, hemorrhoids, burning sensation, arthritis and leucorrhoea. According to previous studies, A.polystachya has been extensively investigated since the 1960s because of the anticancer, antimicrobial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, insecticidal and hepato protective properties of the plant extracts. A. polystachya well known source of limonoids and terpenoids with the wide range of biological activity. A.polystachya have led to the isolation of many structurally active constituents like terpenoids and limuloids with a pharmacological properties such as anti-feed ant, insecticidal and antioxidant activities. In our present study Photochemical investigation of fruits of hexane extract of Aphanamixispolystachya led to isolation of active constituents. The resulted active constituents were determined on the basis of HRMS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR data. -

E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al. -

The ‘needlegrasses’ are char- acterized by having single-flowered spikelets and stout, terminally-awned lem- mas. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the Stipeae (including all genera except Anemanthele) using a total of 94 species (nine species were used as outgroups) based on five plastid DNA regions (trnK-5’matK, matK, trnHGUG-psbA, trnL5’-trnF, and ndhF) and a single nuclear DNA region (ITS). -
1 Una Especie Nueva Del Género Astrocasia
Acta Botanica Mexicana (2001), 55: 1-5 UNA ESPECIE NUEVA DEL GÉNERO ASTROCASIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) DEL ESTADO DE GUERRERO, MÉXICO JAIME JIMÉNEZ RAMÍREZ Y MARTHA MARTÍNEZ GORDILLO Herbario de la Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM Apartado postal 70-399 04510 México, D.F. RESUMEN Se describe e ilustra Astrocasia diegoae, una nueva especie del estado de Guerrero, México. Este nuevo taxon se distingue de las restantes cinco especies conocidas de Astrocasia por ser un sufrútice monoico, con flores de sépalos y pétalos casi del mismo tamaño y ocasionalmente inflorescencias bisexuales. El género Astrocasia ha sido considerado esencialmente como constituido por plantas dioicas, pero esta nueva especie y la existencia de especímenes monoicos de A. neurocarpa en Guerrero modifican tal concepto. Se menciona a Astrocasia neurocarpa como registro nuevo para el estado de Guerrero y se incluye una clave para identificar a las especies del género que se encuentran en México. Palabras clave: Astrocasia, Euphorbiaceae, Guerrero, México. ABSTRACT Astrocasia diegoae, a new species from Guerrero, Mexico, is described and illustrated. This new taxon is distinguished from the other five known species of Astrocasia in being a monoecious subshrub, having the sepals and petals of almost the same size, and occasionally possessing bisexual inflorescences. A key is provided for the identification of the four species of Astrocasia known from Mexico. Astrocasia neurocarpa is reported for the first time from the state of Guerrero. Although the genus Astrocasia has been considered essentially dioecious, this notion is altered by the existence of this new monoecious species, as well as the presence of monoecious individuals of A. -
