Abstract

Der vorliegende Band ist das Handbuch zur online-Anwendung BioPop.Erstmalig wird mit einer speziell entwickelten Merkmals-Datenbank für Pflanzen auch der Pro-totyp eines darauf zugreifenden Expertensystems vorgestellt. Dieses gibt Auskunft über die Reaktionspotentiale von Pflanzenarten bei Veränderungen ihrer Umwelt und ermöglicht die Vorhersage der Bestandsentwicklung unter vorgegebenen Bedingungen. Einsatzmöglichkeiten : • Risikoanalysen / Gefährdungs-analysen • Abschätzung von Nutzungsfolgen, Folgen von Nutzungsänderungen und Nachhaltigkeit • Optimierung des Populations- und Biotopmanagements • Landschafts-planung und andere Flächenplanungen • Prognosen zu Folgen des Landschafts- und Klimawandels • Sonstige wissenschaftliche Auswertungen. Sechs Anwendungsbeispiele zu den Themen Risikofaktoren, Artenhilfsmaßnahmen, Biotopmanagement, Renaturierung, Pflege- und Entwicklungsplan sowie Landschafts-Fragmentierung belegen die unmittelbare und breite praktische Relevanz. Schwerpunkt: Pflanzenarten des Grünlandes Für jede der ca. 4.700 aufgenommenen Pflanzensippen sind in der Datenbank bis zu 60 funktionelle biologisch-ökologische Merkmale statistisch verrechenbar dargestellt. Das Beratungssystem ermittelt daraus mit Hilfe prognostischer Algorithmen die unter postulierten Umwelt-, Nutzungs- oder Pflegevoraussetzungen zu erwartenden Popu-lationsveränderungen anhand fest vorgegebener, problemspezifischer Entschei-dungsbäume.Vier Entscheidungsbäume sind im Prototyp bislang implementiert, die Antworten zu konkreten Fragen über eine Pflanzenart liefern, bezüglich: • Dauerhaftigkeit der Samenbank im Boden • Fernausbreitungspotenzial • Reaktion auf Beweidung • Reaktion auf BrachfallenAnwender aus der Praxis prüfen den Prototypen Die Autoren richten an alle Nutzer von BioPop die Bitte, den Prototypen BioPop zu prüfen und ihre Verbesserungs- und Ausbauwünsche mitzuteilen. Der Prototyp kann nur bei aktiver Mitwirkung der Anwender zu einem "ausgewachsenen" Expertensystem, das den Anforderungen aus der Praxis entspricht, weiter entwickelt werden.

Abstract

Genetic diversity is one of the main resources sustaining human life. Food security largely depends on the availability and utilization of this diversity, which is of strategic importance for countries and companies. Conservation and utilization of biodiversity is thus currently an urgent area of global debate and concern. Barley is a major crop in the world used for food, feed and malt, and with a wide religious and ethnic importance. The crop was domesticated in Neolithic time in SW Asia and spread rapidly under cultivation to new areas. Nowadays it is one of the most widespread an

Abstract

Urbanization is one of the main drivers of global change. It often takes place in areas with high biodiversity, threatening species worldwide. To protect biodiversity not only outside but also right within urban areas, knowledge about the effects of urban land use on species assemblages is essential. Sonja Knapp compares several aspects of plant biodiversity between urban and rural areas in Germany. Using extensive databases and modern statistical methods, she goes beyond species richness: Urban areas are rich in species but plant species in urban areas are closer related to each other than plant species in rural areas, respectively. The urban environment, characterized by high temperatures and frequent disturbances, changes the functional composition of the flora. It promotes e.g. short-lived species with leaves adapted to drought but threatens insect-pollinated or wind-dispersed species. The author claims that the protection of biodiversity should not only focus on species richness but also on functional and phylogenetic diversity, also right within urban areas, to preserve a flora with a high potential for adaptation to changing global conditions.

Abstract

It is agreed by most scientists that there is a real possibility of mankind's being plunged into crisis around the middle of the twenty-first century because of insufficient crop production to support the explosively increasing world popula­ tion and because of serious pollution of the global environment. Plants should play the major role in alleviating this crisis. Consequently, plant science will become of crucial importance in the next century. The application of plant science to crop improvement and the pro­ duction of plants resistant to environmental pollution will be achieved through complete understanding of the basic functions of plants. Fun­ damental understanding of individual species and the evolution of plants is also important. The Botanical Society of Japan, which was established in 1882, decided to publish a series of special issues of the Botanical Magazine, Tokyo (now the Journal of Plant Research). The aim of this series was to present overviews of recent advances in various fields of plant sciences. As a result, The Botanical Society of Japan published Controlling Factors in Plant Development in 1978, Regulation of Photosynthetic Processes in 1991, and Cellular and Molecular Bio­ logy in Plant Cell Cultures in 1993. The contributions to these high-quality special issues were written by leading international scientists in each field, and these publications had a great impact worldwide.

Abstract

This book presents the first assessment of the high-elevation flora of the Central Caucasus with a community ecology emphasis. Following a geostatistical-climatological description of the region (in comparison to the European Alps), it describes the montane, alpine and nival plant assemblages on the basis of an ecological approach that combines moisture, soils and local habitat peculiarities. Highlights include the famous giant herb communities in treeless parts of the upper montane belt, the various facets of alpine turf, and the unique assemblages and settings in the nival region. Further chapters address potential niche conservation between the Caucasus and the Alps, as well as a compilation of plant species habitat preferences (indicator values) that applies to a concept developed for the Alps. Richly illustrated and featuring extensive quantitative data on species abundance, the book offers a unique guide to the plant species diversity of this prominent mountain range, and a valuable resource for comparative ecology and biodiversity assessments of warm temperate mountain systems.
