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.

These plants occur in great diversity, over 28,000 species around the world.

The nearly 200 member Convention of Biological Diversity which embodies the global consensus on the need to protect ecological diversity aims to do just that. The CBD s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity calls for the formal protection of at least 17 of the most ecologically important terrestrial areas, while the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation seeks to protect 60 of plant species.

Thirteen species highest diversity we can find in one single area in Africa.

Jordan also states that overgrazing reduced plant diversity and biomass in the rangelands.

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.

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.

As a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, Myanmar was trying hard to preserve the rich biological diversity of its territory, which contained, among others, 100 types of bamboo, about 30 species of rattan, 800 species of orchids, close to 1,000 species of birds, almost 300 species of mammals and approximately 360 known species of reptiles.

In contrast, many of the areas where diverse plant species and genetic varieties still exist are managed by farmers and pastoralists whose systems share several common characteristics diversity in cropping and cultivation, micro level adaptations, successional vegetation and small scale farming.

The cultivation of different energy crops will in future enrich crop rotation and hence improve plant diversity.

(i) Preparation of the development of a global strategy on alien species that threaten marine and coastal biological diversity

Alpine ecosystems, which boast the greatest degree of plant diversity in the world, are under increasing pressure from climate change.

It currently coordinates 7 research networks and assists about 30 capacity building projects for integrating modern techniques into national plant breeding and conservation programmes, with a view to characterizing plant genetic resources, widening plant genetic diversity and introducing agronomically and commercially useful traits.

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.

RSP together with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Global Invasive Species Programme organized a workshop from 27 to 29 June 2005 to develop a joint programme of work on marine invasive species.

The resolution notes the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity and that the transfer and introduction of alien aquatic species with ballast water threatens the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.

Many Parties highlighted the importance of preserving genetic resources and biological diversity, exploring drought tolerant ecotypes and establishing migration corridors for species.

The Initiative facilities collect vegetation and temperature data to identify trends in species diversity and temperature and assess and predict losses in biodiversity.

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.

You walk down the street in any big city, you travel like that, and you are amazed at the diversity in the human species.

(a) To take decisive action to conserve and maintain genes, species and ecosystems with a view to promoting the sustainable management of biological diversity

But looking around the world at the diversity of humans, he said, Well, you know, we seem to come in discreet sub species or categories.

UNEP WCMC also provides assessment support to the multilateral environmental agreements, including work on the Global Biodiversity Outlook of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the CITES periodic trade analysisand the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) species assessment compilation.

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.

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.

If you look at nucleotide diversity, which is more genetics that are passed on through parents, you can see that basking sharks, if you look at the first study, was an order of magnitude less diversity than other shark species.

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.

That's what we're still trying to find answers to, and it is important to realize that there is diversity in all different species, and our ancestors are no exception.

Jordan claims that the population increase resulted in a higher demand for freshwater, and that this led to a decrease in the flow of water into the Azraq wetlands. Jordan states that the diminished water supply to the Azraq wetlands also changed the wetland and riparian habitats, causing alterations in the diversity and dominance of plant species currently present in the wetlands.

The power plant of tomorrow is no power plant.

The authors conclude that marine reserves can make a significant positive contribution to the biological diversity of both target and non target species in a relatively short period of time.

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

Venezuela is also party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and the Convention on Biological Diversity, which we consider to be the appropriate legal framework for regulating the conservation and the use of biological diversity in all its aspects.

St. Helena has an environmental conservation programme aimed at preserving endangered species and the diversity of habitats, which are an important part of the Territory's heritage and could potentially increase tourism.
