The Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, more popularly known as the Labyrinth Islands, is renowned for its luxuriant coastal, mangrove, tropical evergreen forests, and marine vegetation. The book Angiosperm Diversity of Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, South Andaman, India deals with different species of flowering plants comprising of 762 species of dicotyledons and 248 species of monocotyledons with 15 illustrations and 144 photographs. The book also identifies the endemic species; provides specific information on local uses of the plants, distribution patterns in the Islands; different threats to biodiversity and suggesting conservation measures. I hope this book provide a comprehensive picture of the floristic richness and will be of appreciable use to students and researchers in the field of botany and forestry. …

Hardcover. Condizione: New. India, a mega diverse country has also a high degree of endemism owing to diverse climatic conditions and varied topography. The study of endemism helps in identifying region with high biodiversity and can be a means of useful factor for the conservation of species. Further, it is reported that the terrestrial endemics are projected to be affected 10 times more than the non endemic species due to climate change. Therefore, an enumeration of endemics can help not only in identifying and conserving them but also the biodiversity at large. The variation in climatic conditions across the state of West Bengal has complemented to a spectacular floral diversity. A number of endemic species are known to occur in the state including several new taxa described in the recent decades. Due to their restricted range of occurrence, endemic species are often the most vulnerable. The flora of West Bengal has been under severe pressure due to various biotic and abiotic factors leading to depletion of huge tracts of natural vegetation. As a result, many species of vascular plants have become rare and threatened. So far, the state of our knowledge on the endemic and threatened vascular plants occurring in West Bengal has remained scattered. The present book attempts to reflect the current knowledge on Endemic and Threatened vascular plants of West Bengal by scrutinising the literature, herbarium information and field data. The book provides a detailed account on the Endemic and Threatened vascular plants of West Bengal with detailed descriptions, distribution and phenology along with distributional maps and photographs. A total of 52 species of vascular plants belonging to 46 genera and 29 families are recorded as endemics and 58 taxa belonging to 48 genera and 32 families of vascular plants are documented as threatened species. The information provided in the book will significantly contribute in the conservation and management of endemic and threatened vascular plants of West Bengal. …

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Mangroves are among the most threatened habitats in the world. Despite of their significant role in the livelihood of over half the human population, majority of the mangrove habitats are under serious threat throughout the world. The book Mangroves of India- A Pictorial Field Guide is aimed to provide detailed information on the current status of mangroves in our country and the diversity of the mangrove flora among the coastal states. Detailed information on the true mangrove species of our country along with their salient identifying characters are provided supported by numerous photographs. The book provides us a thorough insight on the adaptations of mangroves and the current scenario of the diversity of true mangroves of our country and their distribution among the coastal states of India. Dichotomous keys to the family, genera and species are also provided for easy and accurate identification of the species. A total of 42 true mangrove species under 23 genera belonging to 16 families are enumerated. Local names, notes on habit, habitat and ecology and uses are also provided. The book also provides description along with photographs of a total of 68 common mangrove associate species of India. A short chapter in the common mangrove fauna is also provided with numerous photographs. The book also contains a dedicated chapter on the common threats to the mangroves and conservation strategies. The information provided in the book will be very useful as a comprehensive identification guide for students, scientists, foresters and all those concerned with the protection of mangroves and it will significantly contribute in the conservation and management of mangroves of India.…
