Digital seed atlas of the Netherlands
Author: René T. J. Cappers
Publisher: Barkhuis
Published: 2012
Total Pages: 87
ISBN-13: 9077922954
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →With over 4000 colour photographs, this atlas represents 1828 taxa and includes the wild plants of the Netherlands, the adventitious plants and the cultivated plants that have gone wild. The seed atlas presents a unique picture of the variation and the characteristics of the seeds and fruits of the Dutch flora, and is designed to be a tool to identify seeds and fruits. Because the seeds and fruits of many plants have clearly visible diagnostic characteristics, the seed atlas can also be used to identify seed-bearing plants via their ripe seeds and fruits. The photographs in the book are arranged in accordance with the fully revised 23rd edition of 'Heukels Flora van Nederland', following new insights of phylogenetic classification of the angiosperms (APG II).The introduction is in both English and Dutch, and at the back of the book are indexes of both the Dutch and the scientific plant names. The seed atlas will be of use to ecologists, plant taxonomists, palaeobotanists and amateur florists in the Netherlands as well as abroad.Purchase of the atlas gives you the right to access the website, which is managed by the Library of the University of Groningen. For additional information, please see p. IV, opposite the Table of contents.
A Manual for the Identification of Plant Seeds and Fruits

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The taxonomic and ecological identification of individual seeds and fruits of wild and cultivated plants is not always straightforward. This book helps you to get started, and also serves as a basis for further identification. It describes the inflorescence(s) and infructescence(s) seen in each of a set of 30 plant families, as well as the morphology of the seeds and fruits (with special emphasis on typology), the dispersal units (diaspores), and, if present, heterodiaspory. The manual is richly illustrated with 640 colour photos of inflorescences, infructescences, seeds, fruits, and diaspores. Technical terms are described in a glossary. Indices of scientific plant names and subject names are included. This book will be of interest not only to those engaged in the identification of seeds and fruits, such as those who work in seed testing, but also to taxonomists, ecologists, archaeobotanists, and florists who wonder what they are looking at. This handbook is a completely revised version of the first edition, which was published in 2013. An important adaptation relates to new developments in plant taxonomy and the classification of fruits and diaspores. The number of plant families has been extended from 19 to 30. A Manual for the identification of plant seeds and fruits describes the following plant families: Amaranthaceae Apiaceae Asparagaceae Asteraceae Boraginaceae Brassicaceae Caprifoliaceae Caryophyllaceae Convolvulaceae Cucurbitaceae Cyperaceae Ericaceae Euphorbiaceae Fabaceae Geraniaceae Juncaceae Lamiaceae Linaceae Malvaceae Onagraceae Papaveraceae Plantaginaceae Poaceae Polygonaceae Primulaceae Ranunculaceae Rosaceae Rubiaceae Scrophulariaceae Solanaceae See this pdf for some example pages. This book is a publication of the Digital Plant Atlas project, a collaboration among palaeobotanists and ecologists of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, in the Netherlands, and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, in Berlin, Germany. The project aims to make plant reference collections accessible to a broader public of amateur and professional users via its website, www.plantatlas.eu.

Ebla and its Landscape

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The discovery of 17,000 tablets at the mid-third millennium BC site of Ebla in Syria has revolutionized the study of the ancient Near East. This is the first major English-language volume describing the multidisciplinary archaeological research at Ebla. Using an innovative regional landscape approach, the 29 contributions to this expansive volume examine Ebla in its regional context through lenses of archaeological, textual, archaeobiological, archaeometric, geomorphological, and remote sensing analysis. In doing so, they are able to provide us with a detailed picture of the constituent elements and trajectories of early state development at Ebla, essential to those studying the ancient Near East and to other archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and linguists. This work was made possible by an IDEAS grant from the European Research Council.
Digital Diaspore Atlas of the Netherlands

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Digital Diaspore Atlas of the Netherlands consists of a book and a website. With more than 2600 colour photographs, this atlas represents 1915 taxa and includes not only the wild plants of the Netherlands, but also adventitious plants and cultivated plants that have naturalized and are today found in the wild in the Netherlands. The selection of plant taxa is based on the 24th edition of Heukels' Flora van Nederland, following new insights into the phylogenetic classification of the angiosperms (as incorporated in APG IV). This atlas presents a unique view of the variation among-and characteristics of-the diaspores of the Dutch flora, and it is designed to be a tool to identify these diaspores. Three kinds of diaspores (dispersal units) are depicted: seeds, fruits, and anthocarps (meaning fruits with a conspicuous exocarp). Because the diaspores of many plants have clearly visible diagnostic characteristics, this diaspore atlas can also be used to identify seed-bearing plants via their ripe seeds, fruits, and anthocarps. This diaspore atlas will be of use to ecologists, plant taxonomists, palaeobotanists, those who work in seed testing, and florists-both within and outside the Netherlands. The quality of the photos has been improved over that of the Digital Seed Atlas of the Netherlands through our use of a Leica M125 C stereomicroscope with motorfocus system, a Leica MC190 HD microscope camera, the software las 4.13.0, and Adobe Photoshop 2019 for stacking and photo editing. This book is a publication of the Digital Plant Atlas project, a collaboration among palaeobotanists and ecologists of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, in the Netherlands, and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, in Berlin, Germany. The project aims to make plant reference collections accessible to a broader public of professional and amateur users via its website, www.plantatlas.eu. This website offers the opportunity to examine photographs of plant parts (including diaspores) and of processes related to agricultural practices and food processing in more detail, using its extensive search tools. The other publications of the Digital Plant Atlas project can also be found on this website.

Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany

ISBN-13: 1607323168
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Paleoethnobotany, the study of archaeological plant remains, is poised at the intersection of the study of the past and concerns of the present, including agricultural decision making, biodiversity, and global environmental change, and has much to offer to archaeology, anthropology, and the interdisciplinary study of human relationships with the natural world. Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany demonstrates those connections and highlights the increasing relevance of the study of past human-plant interactions for understanding the present and future. A diverse and highly regarded group of scholars reference a broad array of literature from around the world as they cover their areas of expertise in the practice and theory of paleoethnobotany—starch grain analysis, stable isotope analysis, ancient DNA, digital data management, and ecological and postprocessual theory. The only comprehensive edited volume focusing on method and theory to appear in the last twenty-five years, Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany addresses the new areas of inquiry that have become central to contemporary archaeological debates, as well as the current state of theoretical, methodological, and empirical work in paleoethnobotany.
