The plant fossil record indicates that the genus Metasequoia was widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the early Late Cretaceous to the Plio-Pleistocene. Today the genus has shrunk to one species with approximately 5,000 mature individuals in southeastern China’s Xiahoe Valley. This book distills the current understanding of the biology, ecology and physiology of fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and problems that remain unresolved.

Aus den Rezensionen:
"... Alles in allem liefert das vorliegende Werk eine enorme Fülle von Fakten und darauf basierender, fundierter Interpretationen zu den verschiedensten rezent- und paläobotanischen Aspekten die die Gattung Metasequoia betreffen. Das Werk kann man daher als unverzichtbares ... Standardwerk für jeden ansehen, der sich ... mit diesem Taxon befasst. Darüber hinaus zeigt dieses Buch auch modellhaft, wie man die ökologische Interpretation ausgewählter fossiler Taxa durch interdisziplinäre Forschungen optimieren kann ... Gleichermaßen detaillierte und fundierte Bearbeitungen ... helfen, unser Verständnis ... deutlich zu verbessern."

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The plant fossil record provides evidence that the genus Metasequoia was widely distributed and experienced a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the early Late Cretaceous to the Plio-Pleistocene. Today the genus is limited to one species with approximately 5,000 mature individuals growing in the Xiahoe Valley in southeastern China. This book is a distillation of the collective efforts and results of the world's Metasequoia specialists and enthusiasts. It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference source for the genus and the authors have sought to incorporate obscure, hard-to-get and non-English reference sources. The book reviews what is known about the biology, ecology and physiology of fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and problems that remain unresolved.This book presents a definitive overview of fossil and living Metasequoia and was written by sixteen of the world's experts on this important genus. Given the reality of increasing human pressure and the inevitability of global change, efforts to conserve this ancient genus are underway. Seller Inventory # 9789400791664
