Oldfield, Peggy Olwell, Nancy Shaw, Kayri Havens1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (XIII, 137 p. 8 illus. in color.) Springer Earth System Sciences,2197-95963-319-96973-0 Chapter1: Introduction -- Chapter2: The importance of native plants and the pressures they face -- Chapter3: The importance of ecosystems -- Chapter4: Conservation of plant species -- Chapter5: Land ownership, land management and land use -- Chapter6: Restoring the future -- Chapter7: Looking ahead.This book provides a general overview of the natural landscapes and vegetation types of the U.S., the key plant species that help define them, the pressures faced by natural ecosystems and the imperative for conservation and restoration. It addresses the policies that have been introduced to manage healthy ecosystems and the practical progress that is being made in restoration. A particular focus is on the production of diverse native plant materials currently required by the National Seed Strategy. Case studies demonstrate how native plant materials are essential to support the conservation of healthy ecosystems with their biodiversity and functions as well as supporting a productive and sustainable agricultural sector and healthy ecosystems for all. The authors are closely connected with major national and international networks of botanic gardens, ecologists and conservation scientists at Board level and through other professional links. Condensing a wide range of current information into a concise format, this book fills a need by experts and informed amateurs interested in the natural environment, including gardeners, botanic garden and protected area visitors, government agencies, the private sector native seed industry, and NGOs.Springer Earth System Sciences,2197-9596Plant ecologyPlant systematicsPlant taxonomyBiodiversityApplied ecologyConservation biologyEcology Nature conservationPlant Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112Plant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24051Biodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Conservation Biology/Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150Nature Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008Plant ecology.Plant systematics.Plant taxonomy.Biodiversity.Applied ecology.Conservation biology.Ecology .Nature conservation.Plant Ecology.Plant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.Biodiversity.Applied Ecology.Conservation Biology/Ecology.Nature Conservation.581.7Oldfield Sara Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut963285Olwell Peggyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autShaw Nancyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHavens Kayriauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910341851703321Seeds of Restoration Success2184129UNINA
