Do you know how many species of flowering plants there are?

species diversity around plant

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

I plant the potatoes, I weed the garden, I domesticate the species.

There are a quarter of a million at least those are the ones we know about a quarter of a million species of flowering plants.

Designing effective conservation strategies must begin with knowledge of the species we need to protect. So far, taxonomists have described roughly 297,500 plant species.

Tropical forests are home to nearly half of all plant and animal species on Earth.

From the flowering garden of God.

Birds witnessed the emergence of flowering plants.

This is the flowering of human endeavor.

Without insects, there'd be no flowering plants.

Hyperspectral imaging has been used as a tool to monitor the plant stress induced in plants that naturally bio accumulate certain chemical species.

Supporting activities include the FAO advice on legislation and regulation to comply with international agreements regarding alien plant species, particularly the International Plant Protection Convention, and support for strengthening national plant protection services to reduce the introduction and spread of pests, including weeds, of quarantine significance.

Some of them are very well known, like the flowering.

Based on this development, mathematical models predict that roughly 15 more plant species exist than are currently known, for a total of some 350,000 species a figure that is consistent with expert opinion. Perhaps half of the undescribed species have already been collected and housed in herbaria, where they await detection and analysis.

It is the flowering of the seeds you planted in earlier, headier days.

And the world's first major botanical institution is in London, and they have this extraordinary project where they've been collecting 25 percent of all the world's plant species.

And there is as many different kinds of pollen as there are flowering plants.

Without flowering plants, there would be no clever, fruit eating primates giving TED Talks.

Northwestern Yunnan is one of the world s most biologically diverse areas, home to half of China s animal species and a quarter of its plant species. Whatever portions of this ecosystem that the dams don t submerge are certain to be disrupted in potentially disastrous ways.

The ecological questions involved how much area countries should protect, and where are not easy to answer doing so requires ever deeper knowledge of plant species and their habitats.

And the reason for that is they've got to chuck out masses and masses of pollen to have any chance of the pollen reaching another plant of the same species.

Moreover, while some 13 of the world s land area is currently protected, only 14 of the 17 that contains the most plant species fall within the protected areas. In order to improve the CBD s chances of success, countries with higher concentrations of unique species need more robust protections.

In this visually dazzling talk, Jonathan Drori shows the extraordinary ways flowering plants over a quarter million species have evolved to attract insects to spread their pollen growing 'landing strips' to guide the insects in, shining in ultraviolet, building elaborate traps, and even mimicking other insects in heat.

The power plant of tomorrow is no power plant.

International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) patterns of genetic diversity in wild forage species in situ conservation in the Sahel region to monitor vegetation change over years strategies for in situ conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources in desert prone areas of Africa in situ conservation of agricultural biodiversity.

The third plant is money plant, and this is again a very common plant preferably grows in hydroponics.

Alien species

And plant.

Plant life.

Tomato plant.

Cement plant.

So this is a plant that is mimicking the first plant.

There's six million species of insects on this planet, six million species.

3. Alien species

Plant one here.

We've got over 1,000 species. We have 137 bird species as of today.

And so it's not an accident that a great flowering of innovation happened as England switched to tea and coffee.

And I'm talking specifically about synanthropic species, which are species that have adapted specifically for human ecologies, species like rats and cockroaches and crows.

You go to any factory, any power plant, any chemical plant, any food processing plant, you look around everything is being run by computers.

These are gateway species, vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.

But he answered, Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

But he answered, Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

The fact that endangered plant species tend to be concentrated geographically raises the stakes for conservation efforts in those areas. But it could also facilitate success by enabling policymakers to focus on narrow areas instead of vast habitats.

Every species does it.
