Provides information on most aspects of the ecology, utilization and management of the beech forests. The taxonomic characteristics and history of nothofagus are covered, along with the distribution and composition of the beech forests throughout New Zealand.
A comprehensive account of the vegetation, its origin, ecology, biogeography and community structure.
Volumes 33-38, Section B. include 1949-1955 of New Zealand geological abstracts, published by the New Zealand Geological Survey.
An extensive study from 1928, based on years of research in the field, of the plant life of New Zealand.
Ecologists and biogeographers have been intrigued for a long time by the striking similarity of the vegetation and flora of southern temperate zone regions separated by large oceans. These scientists have been particularly interested in the occurrence in these regions of Nothofagus--southern beeches. This book, which focuses on the distribution, history, and ecology of the genus Nothofagus, provides a key to understanding the historical plant geography and modern vegetation patterns of the southern hemisphere. The book begins with a discussion of the long-term and broad-scale patterns of origin and differentiation in the genus. Next each major Nothofagus biome is discussed, first in a chapter that considers contemporary ecological patterns and then in a chapter that focuses on the history and paleoecology of the region. Authorities in the field deal with the temperate zone of the southwest Pacific region (New Zealand and Australia); the adjacent tropical zone of the southwest Pacific (New Guinea and New Caledonia); and South America, ranging from the Mediterranean-type climate region of central Chile to the subantarctic latitudes of Tierra del Fuego.
