The Chestnut Handbook Crop & Forest Management

The Chestnut Handbook Crop & Forest Management

From Mediterranean Europe to Chile and from China to Australia chestnut cultivation surface has greatly increased globally over the last several decades. The crop provides solid revenue to growers is resilient to climate change and the fruits are a calorie-dense carbohydrate-rich nut the production of which improves soil and sequesters carbon. However there is a great lack and a great need for technical information on management of old and new chestnut plantations. The Chestnut Handbook shares achievements in chestnut development and cultivation including information on sustainable planning and management of chestnut production from nursery to plantation entomology pathology and ecosystem services. Cultivation techniques of Chinese Japanese and European chestnut species including hybrids are described containing information on over 550 local and commercial cultivars. Beautiful original handmade drawings and technical sheets facilitate accessibility and comprehension of information. FEATURES:• Offers practical easy-to-follow technical solutions for chestnut farming and forestry provides ideas for present and future plantations and management• Contains more than 300 figures published in full color featuring original handmade drawings• Provides information about cultural practices nursery techniques and ecosystem services• Includes a reference list of over 550 local and commercial cultivars of Chinese Japanese and European chestnut species and their hybrids• Presents important information on both major and minor pests and diseases as well as pest diseases and physiological disorders. With the collaboration of more than 30 researchers from internationally renowned institutes professionals and nurserymen this book serves as a technical reference and valuable resource for agronomists forest experts farmers researchers and students of agricultural and forestry sciences. | The Chestnut Handbook Crop & Forest Management

Molluscan Communities of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Areas Their Ecology and Biodiversity

Molluscan Communities of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Areas Their Ecology and Biodiversity

Molluscan Communities of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Areas: Their Ecology and Biodiversity is the first comprehensive overview of the ecology and biodiversity of the phylum Mollusca in the area of Florida extending from the Dry Tortugas and Ten Thousand Islands in the west to Palm Beach in the east. The book provides detailed analyses of molluscan faunas found in 20 different ecosystems emphasizing the marine environments of the Florida Keys archipelago and its extensive coral reef tracts. Full-page color illustrations portray living animals unique Keys environments underwater ecosystems and satellite images. More than 1 200 species of macromollusks—in 86 gastropod families and 54 bivalve families—are recorded from the study area with color plates illustrating over 550 of the region’s most ecologically important species. For the first time in any book on the malacology of the Florida Keys area the 20 marine ecosystems and their associated molluscan assemblages are arranged by the CMECS (Coastal Marine Ecological Classification Standard) system. This system emphasizes the hierarchical relationships determined by substrate type bathymetry and water chemistry. Along with complete species lists for every molluscan assemblage this handy guide introduces ten newly-discovered gastropods including new species in the families Muricidae Buccinidae Nassariidae Naticidae Turritellidae and Olividae. Two new bivalves in the families Pectinidae and Arcidae are also described in a special systematic appendix. This richly illustrated book is written for the professional scientific audience interested in mollusks marine ecology evolution and taxonomy as well as malacologists naturalists and shell collectors. It is also an ideal synoptic field guide showing where individual species of mollusks can be found and within which ecosystems they occur. | Molluscan Communities of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Areas Their Ecology and Biodiversity
