Biology, Productivity and Bioenergy of Timber-Yielding Plants
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-61797-8 (ISBN)
This book deals with the characterization of the vegetation, morphology, phenological development, biomass production (leaf, litter, wood), and bioenergy of some timber-yielding species of Northeast Mexico, which will serve as a guide to study timber-yielding plants in the native vegetation of Tamaulipan thornscrub and experimental plantations. This includes morphology, vegetation cover, biomass production in terms of volume leaf biomass, litter, and volume of fire wood and timber. Special emphasis is given to the estimation of bioenergy products and chemical composition (Ph, extractable lignin, and inorganic elements). Large variations exist in vegetation cover, morphology, phenological development, biomass production of leaf and litter, volume of wood and various variable of bioenergy products among the selected species. The maximum production was found in summer and the volume of the harvestable timber was obtained in experimental plantations. This book, therefore, will serve as a practical handbook to characterize timber-yielding plants, which will help to efficiently manage forestry resources.
Ratikanta Maiti, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Linares, Nuevo León, MexicoRatikanta Maiti, Ph.D., D.Sc., is a renowned botanist of international repute with specialization in crop physiology and botany. He worked for nine years as a senior botanist in Jute Agricultural Research Institute, Barrackpore (I.C.A.R.), Kolkata, West Bengal, and for 10 years as a senior plant physiologist in ICRISAT, Patancheru, A.P., India. Then he worked as Senior Professor and Senior Research Scientist (CONACYT, Mexico, for 18 years) at two universities in Mexico for 20 years. During his scientific career, he has developed innovative techniques for the screening of salinity and drought of several crops. As author of more than 30 books, he has won several international awards such as international scientist award offered by IBC, Cambridge and Ethnobotanist Award 2003 sponsored by Friends University, U.S.A. and U.N.D.P. and gold medal for India 2008 offered ABI.Magnot Ngangyo Heya, Departamento de Botánica, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, MexicoRahim Foroughbakhch Pournavab, Departamento de Botánica, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, MexicoArtemio Carrillo Parra, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Linares, Nuevo León, Mexico
