Given the importance of non-timber forest resources to subsistence livelihoods, the increased rate of logging in Amazonia, and the pronounced overlap of timber and non-timber species, it is important to evaluate the altered composition and abundance of NTFPs. In this changing landscape, it is vit...

The study of plant communities requires a basic understanding of the abundance, distribution, and number of species present. Yet, in obtaining this information, scientists can rarely sample the entire community or area of interest. In practice, data from numerous small sub-samples provide a basis...

Aluminium (Al) toxicity has a strong negative impact on crop productivity on acid mineral soils. Liming and fertilisation frequently are insufficient to overcome the problem, especially in tropical areas with subsoil acidity. The focus on breeding for acid soil tolerance as a more sustainable too...

An adequate knowledge of species distribution and performance is fundamental to effective wildlife management. In the majority of cases where known distributions are very limited, other means of acquiring information may be needed to model the potential distribution of species of management conce...

Plant reproduction is a core process in plant breeding. For decades, one can even say for centuries, plant reproductive biology has largely been a matter of observation, description, and philosophical speculation. Only in the last two decades has it entered the experimental phase, and it is in th...

In this chapter, we review the use of hyperspectral data for the assessment of nitrogen content in herbaceous plants (crops and pastures) by illustrating the major datasets and methods employed for this purpose. In the introduction and state of the art sections, general background is provided tog...

The florist’s geranium (Pelargonium×domesticum) is a favorite house plant, available in many varieties. OtherPelargoniumspecies are commercially important for geranium oil. These plants are known as scented geraniums and the principal ones are:P. graveolens,P. fragrans,P. odoratissimus,P. capitat...
