space for advertisement Putz FE Vine Ecology. ECOLOGY INFO Vine Ecology Francis E. Putz Department of Botany University of Florida Gainesville, Florida, USA Note: This online review is updated and revised continuously, as soon as results of new scientific research become available. It therefore presents state-of-the-art information on the topic it covers. Herbaceous and woody vines, the latter also known as lianas and bush ropes, climb by using other plants for support. This characteristic of not being self-supporting allows vine stems to be narrow, flexible and capable of phenomenal rates of growth in height or length. Vines have long attracted naturalists and story-tellers, yet despite the contributions of Darwin (1867) and other 19th Century biologists to the study of vines, it wasn’t until fairly recently that ecologists turned their attention to this important group of plants. While there is still much to learn about this long-neglected group of plants, the diversity and ecological importance of vines is now widely recognized, thanks to the efforts of researchers around the world. Nevertheless , there are still many aspects of vine ecology that await investigation. See

Next Redwood Forest Ecology Redwood forests are complex ecosystems. From the tallest trees in the world to the tiniest fungi, the whole forest is a working system in a very delicate balance. Everything has a role to play in this forest. The redwoods themselves influence the climate of the river canyons by transpiring moisture which keeps the humidity high. Evening fog from the ocean rolls into the canyons and condenses on the tree leaves. This condensed fog falls to the ground as raindrops. The trees are able to use this moisture. A single tree can release up to 500 gallons of moisture into the air per day. The region also receives large amounts of rainfall. The trees grow well here because they receive plenty of water. In turn, the trees support wildlife. Birds build nests in the branches and small mammals, such as red tree voles, bats, flying squirrels, chipmunks and squirrels, also find shelter in the trees. When the trees lose their leaves, decomposers such as banana slugs, redwood snails and numerous kinds of fungi, begin to break down the leaves into nutrients which will be leached back into the soil by the rain. These nutrients can then be used by other trees and plants.

Cochrane Carlos Souza Jr. , and Rodney Salomão Instituto do Homem e Meio Ambiente da Amazônia Abstract Introduction Methods Results ... Literature Cited ABSTRACT Brazil will benefit if it gains control of its vast Amazonian timber resources. Without immediate planning, the fate of much of the Amazon will be decided by predatory and largely unregulated timber interests. Logging in the Amazon is a transient process of natural resource mining. Older logging frontiers are being exhausted of timber resources and will face severe wood shortages within 5 yr. The Brazilian government can avoid the continued repetition of this process in frontier areas by establishing a network of National Forests (Florestas Nacionais or Flonas) to stabilize the timber industry and simultaneously protect large tracts of forest. Flonas currently comprise less than 2% of the Brazilian Amazon (83,000 km ). If all these forests were used for sustainable logging, they would provide less than 10% of the demand for Amazonian timber. To sustainably supply the present and near-future demand for timber, approximately 700,000 km

45. Coral Cay Conservation - Tropical Forest Ecology Tropical forest ecology. Rainforest in the Philippines. Tropical forests havebeen generically defined as multistoried closed, broad leaved forest http://www.coralcay.org/science/forests/forest_ecology.php

Wednesday 21st September 2005 coralcay.org The Science Tropical forest ecology and facts Tropical forest Ecology Tropical forests have been generically defined as "multi-storied closed, broad leaved forest vegetation with a continuous tree canopy of variable height and with characteristic diversity of species and life forms". "Tropical forests" are not one ecosystem but encompass the idyllic rainforest, the remote cloud forest, and the lesser-known but equally endangered dry forest, pine savanna, and much, much more. Tropical rainforests are defined primarily by two factors: location (in the tropics) and amount of rainfall they receive. Rainforests receive from 4 to 8 meters of rain a year. Another distinctive characteristic is that rainforests have no "seasonality" no dry or cold season of slower growth. Top ten forest facts Tropical rainforests cover just 2% of the Earth's land surface however within this they are home to two-thirds of all the living species on the planet. A typical four-mile square mile patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 species of flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 125 mammal species, 400 species of birds, 100 species of reptiles, 60 species of amphibians, and 150 different species of butterflies. One and a half acres of rainforest are lost every second, this results in a loss of an area of rainforest the size of Belize once a month.

Monterey Pine Forest Ecology Cooperative Introduction Objectives Activities Seminar, July 27, 2005 Research grants Contact Monterey pines at Cambria, CA USA, 1978. Photo credit: Ken Eldridge , CSIRO, Forestry and Forest Products, Canberra, Australia Introduction Conservation planning and conservation-directed management of forests is best assured of long-term success if based on science. However, science does not make its way from refereed journals to conservation practice without considerable selection, interpretation, and application. In fact, deciding what scientific information is most relevant, and how to interpret and apply this information, is a critical but weak link in the process of science-based forest management. The Monterey Pine Forest Ecology Cooperative has been organized to act as a science-based support group for Monterey pine forests to assist in providing scientific information for conservation planning, conservation management, research, and educational efforts for native Monterey pine forests. This organization is a cross-boundary entity, with members from the Monterey pine land-holding agencies and land trusts, policy-administering agencies, private companies with large forest holdings, interested/involved nongovernmental organizations, universities with faculty who are actively doing research on Monterey pine forest ecology and genetics, and other research or conservation organizations as appropriate.

Welcome to the Florida 4-H Forest Ecology Website! Here you can identify and learn more about the dominant trees and companion plants in eight different forest ecosystems in Florida. Information about forest wildlife, forest insects, and forest diseases is also included. This site is brought to you by the School of Forest Resources and Conservation at the University of Florida Florida is a botanical paradise, with tropical plants in south Florida, and Appalachian species in north Florida. The biodiversity here is phenomenal! That also means that wherever you are, it will be hard to learn ALL of Florida's trees by hiking outdoors. If you live in the north, for example, you'll have to learn about Gumbo Limbo and Saltwort on this website. This site has been designed to accompany the Florida 4-H Ecology Contest and 4-H Forest Project Books . You don't have to be a 4-H'er to use it, though. Everyone is encouraged to explore Florida's forests, both outdoors and on the web. Please send comments and questions to LVK@ifas.ufl.edu
