Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Biodiversidad  Ecología vegetal  Biología de la Conservación  Ecología  Planta  Fisiología de las plantas  Evolución de las plantas Clasificación: 333.95 Resumen: El Himalaya, un punto crítico de biodiversidad global, sustenta aproximadamente una quinta parte de la humanidad. Ubicado dentro de las cadenas montañosas del noroeste del Himalaya, el estado de Jammu y Cachemira (J&K) alberga más de la mitad de la biodiversidad que se encuentra en el Himalaya indio. La amplia extensión del Estado, que se extiende a lo largo del Jammu subtropical, a través del valle templado de Cachemira, hasta el frío y árido Ladakh, es un representante típico de la extensa diversidad altitudinal y topográfica que se encuentra en todo el Himalaya. Este libro, la síntesis más completa y actualizada jamás disponible sobre la biodiversidad del estado de J&K, es una valiosa adición a la literatura sobre biodiversidad con relevancia global y regional. El libro, organizado en 7 partes, consta de 42 capítulos aportados por 87 investigadores, cada uno de los cuales es experto en su propio campo de investigación. Los valiosos datos de referencia contenidos en el libro constituirían la base para evaluar el estado actual del conocimiento sobre los recursos biológicos, identificar las lagunas de conocimiento y ayudar a priorizar las estrategias de conservación para dirigir el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad en esta región del Himalaya. Dada la amplitud de los temas tratados bajo el lema de la biodiversidad en este libro, seguramente puede servir como modelo para la documentación de la biodiversidad en otras regiones del mundo. El libro será de inmenso valor para todos aquellos que, directa o indirectamente, tienen que ocuparse de la biodiversidad, incluidos estudiantes, profesores, investigadores, naturalistas, ambientalistas, administradores de recursos, planificadores, agencias gubernamentales, ONG y el público en general.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, sustains about one-fifth of the humankind. Nestled within the north-western mountain ranges of the Himalaya, the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) State harbours more than half of the biodiversity found in the Indian Himalaya. The wide expanse of State, spread across the subtropical Jammu, through the temperate Kashmir valley, to the cold arid Ladakh, is typical representative of the extensive elevational and topographical diversity encountered in the entire Himalaya. This book, the most comprehensive and updated synthesis ever made available on biodiversity of the J&K State, is a valuable addition to the biodiversity literature with global and regional relevance. The book, arranged into 7 parts, comprises of 42 chapters contributed by 87 researchers, each of whom is an expert in his/her own field of research. The precious baseline data contained in the book would form the foundation for assessing current status of knowledge about the bioresources, identify the knowledge gaps, and help prioritization of conservation strategies to steer the sustainable use of biodiversity in this Himalayan region. Given the breadth of topics covered under the banner of biodiversity in this book, it can surely serve as a model for documentation of biodiversity in other regions of the world. The book will be of immense value to all those who, directly or indirectly, have to deal with biodiversity, including students, teachers, researchers, naturalists, environmentalists, resource managers, planners, government agencies, NGOs and the general public at large.
