The enumeration of the species and various vegetation types are also included. Grassland vegetation, vegatation of hillocks, drying ponds, pools, puddles, lakes and riverside are separately enumerated. As the flora changes with season; the seasonal aspect of the vegetation is also dealt with. Biotic interferences more particularly anthropogenic, produce newer areas for the occupation by species.

Their occurrence, contaminations, effects on health hazards and environmental issues are very well described. The book gives a very ...
Many heavy metals are essential for plants and animals when present in growing medium in low concentrations; they become toxic only when a concentration limit is exceeded. The toxic metal phytotoxicity has been known for more than a century. However, the interest in this field has been developed only recently. The capacity of the plants to survive on soils that contain high concentrations of certain toxic metals has fascinated ecologists, and plant physiologists ...
This book presents an account of important aspects of Living (Extant) and Non-living (Fossil or Extinct) gymnosperms.

The First Europeans observed sunflower cultivated in many places from southern Canada to Mexico. Sunflower ...
