Conservation of Plant Diversity in Japanese Botanic Gardens, a bilingual (Japanese and English) publication, highlights the roles these institutes play in ex situ and in situ plant conservation. Due to local and global threats, plants are currently experiencing their largest extinction crisis in over 65 million years. The island of Japan is no exception with 24% of its 7000 taxa seriously threatened. This volume comprises 47 manuscripts divided into four main sections featuring biodiversity conservation, ex situ conservation, education and conservation practice with the importance of networking stressed throughout

Globally, forest conservation has become an important subject. Issues such as habitat fragmentation, sustainable harvesting and biodiversity loss are not only discussed theoretically by ecologists and conservationists, but also practically by politicians and policy makers. Owing to the financial and social costs of conservation policy, conservationists are increasingly asked for the evidence for their opinions. This demands having reliable, repeatable, cost-effective and comparable techniques. This manual of forest ecology includes both basic monitoring and descriptive techniques for trees, their habitats and their landscapes, but also more sophisticated techniques such as modelling. Each technique is described, critiqued and supported by a wealth of citations. Newton lays out each method sequentially and with clarity so that one can select the method that is most appropriate for the investigation
