Abstract

The central theme of Green Plants, first published in 2000, is the astonishing diversity of forms found in the plant kingdom, from the simplicity of prokaryotic algae to the myriad complexities of flowering plants. The book is arranged according to generally accepted classification schemes, beginning with algae (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) and moving through mosses, liverworts, fern allies, ferns and gymnosperms to flowering plants. Copiously illustrated throughout, it provides a concise account of all algae and land plants, with information on topics from cellular structure to life cycles and reproduction. The authors maintain a refreshingly cautious approach in discussions of possible phylogenetic relationships and include newly emerging information on features of plants known only as fossils. This edition has been completely updated to reflect current views on the origin of the major groups of plants, providing a resource for students of botany, and for researchers needing a comprehensive reference to the plant kingdom.

Abstract

"Green Plants is a totally revised edition of the earlier Diversity of Green Plants by P.R. Bell and C.L.F. Woodcock. The revisions document the latest information on the most exciting advances in the relevant areas of botanical science."--BOOK JACKET. "The central theme of this book is the remarkable diversity of forms evolution has fashioned in geological time from the carbon continually being fixed by photosynthesis. The author's detailed treatment of the full scope of the Plant Kingdom extends from the simplest cellular organisms to the complexities of the flowering plants. There are many references to ultrastructural and physiological features which relate growth and form firmly to the most current concepts in the study of plant development. The author maintains a refreshingly cautious and objective approach in his discussions of possible phylogenetic relationships and includes newly developed information on the essential features of the plants we know only from fossils."--BOOK JACKET. "A tremendous resource for the high school and college classroom, as well as for amateur botanists, Green Plants conveys a clear impression that botany is a truly dynamic science. It provides information on topics from cellular structure to life cycles and reproduction of plants. This book is a timely, well-illustrated, and concise account of the whole range of algae and land plants by a leading botanist well acquainted with teaching and research in the plant sciences."--Jacket

Abstract

This book illustrates the key role played by taxonomy in the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant biodiversity. Divided into four parts, the book opens with an overview of the place of taxonomy in science and in implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity. With contributions from taxonomists and also the users of taxonomy, the volume will provide a balanced treatment, suitable for advanced students, researchers and conservation professionals.
