Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grasses and Grasslands of South Africa I have to express my indebtedness to Mr. C. G. Smith, of Durban, who has made a generous grant towards the cost of publication. To two of my students, Miss M. Batchelor and Miss K. Jameson, my thanks are also due for doing most of the work in connection with the preparation of the illustrations. The map was prepared by Mr. R. W'alker. It is too much to expect that a work of this kind will be free from mistakes, and I hope that readers will help me by pointing out any corrections that should be made, or by offer ing suggestions for the improvement of the key. Since, in the key to the species, and in the section of ecological notes the genera are arranged alphabetically, and a full table of contents is given for the sections dealing with the plant succession and economic applications, it has not been thought necessary to add an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grasses and Grasslands of South Africa The following pages have been written as a preliminary contribution to a very big and important subject. Various studies in South African plant ecology have been made during the past eight years, and to begin with it was my intention to add another to the series of papers, which I have published on this subject, namely, one dealing with the plant succession in the grasslands of South Africa. A grant towards travelling expenses was made by the Royal Society of South Africa. Various preliminary difficulties had first to be overcome, among which the chief one was the devising of a simpler means of identifying the 500 odd species of grasses, which occur in South Africa. The Key as first drawn up, was not intended to be published, but when I had distributed a few manuscript copies, it was urged by several of those who received them that the key should be included in the publication since it would prove useful to others. It is hoped that this will be the case, and at any rate it may be of assistance to those who are not in possession of the more elaborate treatise by Dr. Stapf in the Flora Capensis. It soon became clear as the work progressed, that many important economic questions were involved, and detailed reference to these added to the length of the paper, so that for various reasons it was thought desirable to publish it in book form rather than in one of the scientific journals, especially since, under the present abnormal conditions, the sending of manuscript overseas leads to very long delays. I have to express my indebtedness to Mr. C. G. Smith, of Durban, who has made a generous grant towards the cost. of publication. To two of my students, Miss M. Batcheior and Miss K. Jameson, my thanks are also due for doing most of the work in connection with the preparation of the illustrations. The map was prepared by Mr. R. Walker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grasslands, in particular managed pastures and rangelands, are widespread, covering approximately 40% (52 million km2) of the Earth's land surface. They are dominated by members of the Poaceae - the fourth largest plant family with over 7,500 species, and also the most widespread. Grasslands constitute a major biome on all continents except Antarctica and also represent the most important food crop on Earth with corn, wheat, maize, rice and millet accounting for the majority of our agricultural output. Grasses and Grassland Ecology provides an ecologically orientated introduction to this influential group of plants, summarizing the most recent scientific research in ecology and agriculture in the context of the older, classic literature. Ten chapters cover the morphology, anatomy, physiology and systematics of grasses, their population, community and ecosystem ecology, their global distribution, and the effects of disturbance and grassland management. This comprehensive and accessible textbook is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in the fields of plant ecology, rangeland science, crop science, and agriculture.
