Phytogeography of Antarctica

Journal of Biogeography, 1984
Existing schemes of phytogeographic subdivision of Antarctica and adjacent ocean are reviewed. Russian studies which commenced in the 1950s are reviewed for the first time in the Western literature. Records of lichen and moss occurrence from seventy-five scattered locations in the Australian Antarctic Territory, eastern Antarctica, are analysed for ...

The phytogeography of Scotland

Botanical Journal of Scotland, 1997
Summary The phytogeography of Scotland is discussed in relation to a new phytogeographical classification of British and Irish vascular plants. The flora is dominated by species in the Temperate and Boreo-temperate major biome classes; the Southern-temperate species form the third largest group.

Phytogeography of patagonia

The Botanical Review, 1943
The Patagonian flora is mainly xerophytic in contrast to the hydrophytic Magellanic flora which borders it on the west. It is a complex of elements, each of which has originated from a different geographical region. The most unusual and peculiar endemics of Patagonia, for the most part plants of swales, have their closest relationships with the ...

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE PHYTOGEOGRAPHY OF SHETLAND

New Phytologist, 1980
SummaryPeat and lacustrine deposits from a basin mire in Mainland Shetland have been analysed for plant macrofossils and a number of species of particular phytogeographical interest recorded. Results of macrofossil and pollen analyses indicate that deposition started during Late Devensian times.

Phytogeography of Continental Antarctic Lichens

The Lichenologist, 1995
Abstract The northern and southern polar regions differ substantially in topography, climate, terrestrial habitats and in their biota. The Arctic flora comprises around 900 flowering plants, 600–700 bryophytes and 2000 lichens. The Antarctic flora is depauperate by comparison with only two flowering plants, 100–120 bryophytes, and probably only ...

Permian phytogeography in Gondwana

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1996
Abstract Phytogeographic patterns based on multivariate techniques (Multidimensional Scaling) are proposed for the Permian vegetation of Gondwana. This approach requires a data set with broad geographic coverage based on generic composition and with good time control.

Phytogeography of Northeast Asia

2003
Northeast Asia as defined in this study includes the Russian Far East, Northeast China, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, and Hokkaido Island (Japan). We determined the species richness of Northeast Asia at various spatial scales, analyzed the floristic relationships among geographic regions within Northeast Asia, and compared the flora of ...

DYNAMIC PHYTOGEOGRAPHY OF DORYOPTERIS

American Journal of Botany, 1944
STATIC PHYTOGEOGRAPHY is a study of plant distribution at a given point in time. Dynamic or historical phytogeography takes into consideration the element of time, past as well as present ranges being mapped, compared and analyzed. Several types of evidence are available upon which one may project the present range of a plant backward in time. Fossils,

History of the vegetation and phytogeography

1997
Sumatra is part of the biogeographic region of Malesia which covers Indonesia, North Borneo, New Guinea, Malaysia, South Thailand and the Philippines. As Flenley (1979) so rightly says, a drop of 100 m in sea level in this region would have been enough to influence the history and evolution of the flora and fauna decisively.

Outline of Nepal phytogeography

Vegetatio, 1963
During the last decade many have been interested in the study of the flora of Nepal. There have been those who have carried their investigations over years and others who have visited only once, but all have brought valuable information about the distribution of plants in the area.
