NEW. Illustrations in the text, large 8vo, pp viii, 292, a very good copy in dustwrapper. [Conserving Plant Diversity. Documentation and databases. plant population management. conservation in protected natural areas. Off-site conservation. Plant conservation in modified landscapes. Awareness and education. Legislation. Economics and plant conservation.

Chapters are devoted to the natural - and unnatural - causes of plant rarity and endangerment, and the management of plant populations in natural habitats, in modified landscapes, and off-site to preserve germplasm. Going beyond the biology of conservation, other chapters are devoted to the ethical, educational, and economic aspects of plant conservation. Cyrille de Klemm, an expert on international law, has contributed a chapter on conservation legislation. Plants play critical roles in the web of life, providing the food and shelter on which animals depend. As human population and development pressures on the world's biota increase, it is in the best interest of all to use plant resources wisely and sustainably.That will be possible only if plant diversity is maintained, and Principles and Practice of Plant Conservation is an essential reference for those concerned with how best to preserve what we have.].…
