Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 235-253.<br>The seaweeds of the Namibian coast have received little attention from researchers despite the fact that there is a successful industry based on seaweed exploitation. Beach cast Gracilaria verrucosa (Hudson) Papenfuss is collected (9000-15000 t (wet) y⁻¹) in the Luderitz area for the production of agar, Laminaria schinzii Foslie was harvested for a short period from April 1987 to March 1989 and there is an increasing interest in utilizing other seaweed species on the coast. The natural beds of Gracilaria verrucosa in the Luderitz area were mapped and biomass est

Abstract:

This thesis considers the history and significance of the Museum of Economic Botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, focussing especially on the period from its opening in 1847 to the eve of the First World War. Looking specifically at the Museum's collection of wood specimens and artefacts, it seeks to understand the nature of economic botany during this period, and to evaluate the contribution made to the field by the Kew Museum. Through examination of the Museum's practices, networks, spaces, and objects, it sets out to address the question: how do museums produce scientific knowledge? Pa

Full text

Abstract:

The native woodland herb, goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), is threatened in Canada. Recovery to a non-risk category is particularly desirable given its medicinal and potential crop value. Woodland herbs probably evolved in an environment with severe and frequent disturbances, including massive floods and impacts of extinct and extirpated fauna. Lack of specific disturbance may limit growth and spread. Ecological observations and analysis (Part I) refined this hypothesis. Comparison of recent and 10 year old surveys, and stem numbers over two years, indicated lack of growth and spread. Pollin

Abstract:

Biobliography : leaves 147-156.<br>An investigation of land-use practices was undertaken on the Agulhas Plain, a species-rich area at the southern tip of Africa. Data were collected from landowners and visitors using questionnaire surveys. Further information was obtained by means of a literature search and interviews with key informants. A historical background of land use in the area is given. Although the area has been utilized since the Earlier Stone Age (>200000 years BP), the most dramatic changes to the landscape have occurred post 1850, with the large transformation of indigenous veld

Full text

Abstract:

Economic valuation techniques for environmental goods and services can contribute to decisions regarding the sustainable use and preservation of natural resources. Several valuation techniques have been developed based on neoclassical economics. However, when markets fail these techniques are not applicable. An alternative approach that is less dependent on pervasive markets comes from the school of biophysical economics. This approach is based on the energy theory. According to this theory, the embodied energy of the ecosystem is estimated and a money value is assigned to it. This thesis uses

Orientador: Michel Brienzo<br>Banca: Sidnei Emilio Bordignon Junior<br>Banca: Luciana Fontes Coelho<br>Resumo: O bagaço de cana-de-açúcar é um subproduto da indústria sucroalcooleira, majoritariamente usado para a cogeração de energia térmica e elétrica, através de sua combustão em caldeiras. Em função da sua composição em carboidratos vem sendo estudado na conversão em biocombustíveis. Porém, a recalcitrância da matriz lignocelulósica dificulta desestruturação do material, com baixa acessibilidade à celulose, influenciando na sacarificação enzimática. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho

Abstract:

This study examines the environmental and socio-economic effects associated with the planting of Atriplex nummularia Lindl. (Oldman saltbush) in the karoo. This is the first study of its kind on oldman saltbush and serves as an important scoping exercise in assessing the impact of saltbush on its surrounds and in identifying additional aspects which require investigation. The environmental parameters investigated include microclimatic effects, soil induced changes, salinity effects on the germination of selected karoo species and compositional changes in the indigenous plant community within a

Abstract:

Objectives and Research Questions 1. To reconstruct the history of invasion of Lantana in India from where, by who, and when was Lantana species introduced into India?, given its long history in the country, is it still spreading or has it become more or less stable? 2. To study the human adaptation to Lantana invasion: socioeconomic causes and consequences of the use of Lantana as an alternative source of livelihood for forest dependent communities in southern India; how have local communities adapted to the invasion?; what are the key determinants that may have driven communities to use Lant
