BIOTREE (BIOdiversity and ecosystem processes in experimental TREE stands) is a long term, manipulative experiment on the role of tree diversity for ecosystem functioning of temperate forests.
To our knowledge, the BIOTREE experiment is unique in its size and experimental design, adding value to existing or recently established forest diversity experiments in Finland, Panama and Borneo. [Information of the supplier]

There is a boom in the realm of conifer literature in recent years and this book is among the major contributions to "conifer science". The increasing interest towards conifers is nurtured by exciting new discoveries, the recognition of a greater need for their conservation, and their benefits and usage in many arenas of human life. And as stated in a personal note by the authors, "if botany is "scientia amabilis"—the "amiable science"—then, for us, the study of conifers is "scientia amabilissima"—the ...

On the following pages you will learn something about my work with terrestrial orchids. My main interest lies in the culture and propagation of native orchids, and orchids from other cool-temperate and Mediterranean regions. Here, I have described mainly my own experiences and give an overview as well as typical examples. As presented here, it works for me, but of course I know that other people with other methods and procedures also cultivate and propagate terrestrial orchids successfully.

Many invasive species, like Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), are threatening the world's natural resources, but the abundance of invasive species can vary dramatically over space and time. Scientists still do not have a good understanding of why this is so. Through large-scale sampling, scientists can identify areas that differ in the intensity of invasion and try to understand why these differences exist. We can also compare this to variation in the native range. This may be crucial to researching ... [Information of the supplier]

There are about 100 families of plants across the frost-belt of the continent, with at least 30 additional families occurring farther south where it never freezes. Through this article I will introduce you to seven of the largest and easiest-to-recognize families of plants, which are found worldwide. In the next hour or two you will learn the basic patterns of identification and many of the uses for more than 45,000 species of plants worldwide. Take a little bit of time to practice these patterns ... [Information of the supplier]

Plants for a Future are a registered charity; we are compiling a database, which currently consists of approximately 7000 species of plants. We research and provide information on edible and otherwise useful plants suitable for growing outdoors in a temperate climate. There are now 1500 species of edible plants growing at 'The Field' in Cornwall, our base since 1989. [Information of the supplier]
