Atlas of Botany. An Exploration of Plants Across Time and Around the World - Opracowanie zbiorowe - książka
Producent: Dorling Kindersley
Discover the fascinating journey of how plants spread across the globe to shape the environment we know today, from their humble beginnings to the lush tropical forests. Plants first appeared on Earth around 500 million years ago, during a time when the landscape looked vastly different. As continents drifted, plants either found themselves in competition or were isolated to adapt to new conditions. Throughout their evolutionary history, they developed remarkable strategies to disperse, expand their territories, and enhance biodiversity. Plants have managed to inhabit nearly every corner of the Earth, from tropical areas to the crevices of urban sidewalks, playing a vital role in shaping the planet's ecosystems. The "Atlas of Botany" examines the evolution of these green pioneers by mapping the ancient world's changing landscapes and comparing them to today's biomes. This book delves into the resilience of plants in overcoming survival challenges and their interactions with both pollinators and humans. Within its pages, readers will find a comprehensive fusion of plant science, geography, nature, and human history that offers a unique perspective on plant life. Learn about the astonishing and sometimes peculiar adaptations that enable plants to exist in diverse environments, and gain insight into their origins and ideal growing conditions. Created in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, this visually stunning volume blends the finest aspects of gardening, science, and nature literature. It features exquisite botanical illustrations, detailed photography, and clear explanations, chronicling the evolution and ongoing success of plant species.
