Crivellaro, F.H. Schweingruber1st ed.New York Springer20131 online resource (xii, 583 pages) color illustrations, maps (some color)Life sciences Atlas of wood, bark and pith anatomy of Eastern Mediterranean trees and shrubsDescription based upon print version of record.9783642372346 3642372341 Includes bibliographic references.Introduction -- Materials and Methods -- Definition of Anatomical Features -- Identification Keys -- Anatomical Description of Species -- List of Species and Families -- References.This atlas presents anatomical descriptions of the xylem, bark and pith of 264 species belonging to 69 families. It highlights the anatomical diversity of trees, shrubs, dwarf shrubs, woody lianas and several of the prominent perennial herbs from the Eastern Mediterranean region, with a focus on the island of Cyprus. The island’s topography and biogeographic history combine to provide a wide range of habitats and diverse flora including widespread, endemic, and ornamental species. The monograph for each species includes a description of the anatomical structures of the stem and twig xylem and the twig’s bark and pith, as well as color micrographs of double-stained sections of each of these plant parts.  These entries are accompanied by a photograph and a brief description of the plant including stem wood density, height, habit, flower, leaf and fruit characteristics, and a map showing its geographic and altitudinal distribution in the region. Xylem descriptions follow the IAWA lists of microscopic features for hardwood and softwood identification. For bark and pith descriptions, a new coding system developed by the authors is applied. Lastly, the atlas offers a key for wood identification that was developed to differentiate between groups of species by using a small number of features that are unambiguous and clearly visible. The atlas will be a valuable guide for botanists, ecologists, foresters, archeologists, horticulturists and paleobotanists.WoodGnetalesWood.Gnetales.575.422160918224Crivellaro Alan722588Fritz Hans Schweingruber1759216MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910141791703321Atlas of wood, bark and pith anatomy of eastern Mediterranean trees and shrubs4197610UNINA
