Plants are, along with terrestrial vertebrates, the best known organisms on Earth, and so work on them can be a model for that on less known organism groups. Further, plants are crucial to ecosystem processes, and provide habitats and food for myriads of dependent organisms. At the same time, plants are exploited for food and fuel by humans, and forests continue to be felled for the timber trade or to provide more grazing for cattle. As individual plants are not mobile, they are also particularly vulnerable to global climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributions are drawn from a wide range of countries from different continents, and collectively provide a snap-shot of the types of studies and actions being taken in plant conservation - topical examples that will make the volume especially valuable for use in conservation biology courses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReprinted from \u003cem\u003eBiodiversity and Conservation\u003c\/em\u003e, volume 16:6 (2007)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275479605399,"sku":"9789048176410","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048176410.webp?v=1769283030","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/plant-conservation-and-biodiversity-9789048176410","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
