Begin 19e eeuw verzamelde de botanicus Charles van Hoorebeke ruim duizend plantensoorten. Met zijn herbarium beschikt Oost-Vlaanderen als enige Belgische provincie over een volledige historische catalogus van wilde flora van vóór de industriële en agrarische revolutie. En wat blijkt? 133 soorten, met prachtige namen als zevenster, fijn goudscherm, genadekruid en rozenkransje, zijn er intussen verdwenen. Hoe is het zover kunnen komen en wat kunnen we eraan doen?00Dit boek brengt het verhaal van de verdwenen plantensoorten en de landschapselementen waarin ze voorkwamen vanuit een ecologisch en historisch perspectief. Het biedt daarmee een referentiekader voor het behoud van biodiversiteit, maar iedereen met een interesse in planten zal er veel van opsteken.

This work, published in two volumes, contains descriptions of the wood and bark anatomies of 3000 dicotyledonous plants of 120 families, highlighting the anatomical and phylogenetic diversity of dicotyledonous plants of the Northern Hemisphere. The first volume principally treats families of the Early Angiosperms, Eudicots, Core Eudicots and Rosids, while the second concentrates on the Asterids. Presented in Volume 1 are microsections of the xylem and phloem of herbs, shrubs and trees of 1200 species and 85 families of various life forms of the temperate zone along altitudinal gradients from the lowland at the Mediterranean coast to the alpine zone in Western Europe. The global perspective of the findings is underlined by the analysis of 500 species from the Caucasus, the Rocky Mountains and Andes, the subtropical zone on the Canary Islands, the arid zones in the Sahara, in Eurasia, Arabia and Southwest North America, and the boreal and arctic zones in Eurasia and Canada. The presence of annual rings in all life forms demonstrates that herbs and dwarf shrubs are an excellent tool for the reconstruction of annual biomass production and the interannual dynamic of plant associations. The common principle of the anatomical expression of secondary growth is a key factor in understanding evolution and adaptation processes in all life forms, from the 2 cm tall whitlow grass (Draba arctica) in the arctic to the 40 m tall beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Central European managed forests. The study opens vast fields of research for dendrochronology, wood anatomy, taxonomy and ecology.

We all know that Earth's population is growing at an alarming rate, and vital resources are becoming scarce. There simply isn't enough space to grow the food the bulging human populations will need in the future. An energy crisis is also upon us. What happens when the oil runs out or becomes too costly to support us in the lifestyles to which we've become accustomed? What do we do? There are no easy solutions. Planned population growth would certainly be a possible solution, but there are probably already too many mouths too feed, and few nations would be willing to pass or enforce laws limiting their country's birth rate. Some scientists have suggested the answer lies in humankind's spacefaring nature and fantastic engineering capabilities. We know that there are other terrestrial bodies in our Solar System that share some features with Earth. Can they be made habitable, or at least be used to grow food or supply energy to Earth's expanding populations? What would it take? Which of those bodies are our best hope? Can we create an atmosphere where there is none or change a poisonous atmosphere to one we can breathe? These and other questions concerning modern-day realities and the future possibilities of terraforming the science of making of new worlds (even extrasolar ones) habitable for humans are tackled in this engrossing and revealing study by Martin Beech.

Na ruim 25 jaar verschijnt er een nieuw overzicht van de plantengemeenschappen in ons land dat uitkomt in vijf delen. De eerste drie delen zijn verschenen in 1995 en 1996, deel 5 komt uit in de herfst van 1998. Deel 1 gaat in op de grondslagen, methoden en toepassingen van de plantensociologie. In deel 2 zijn de plantengemeenschappen van open water, bronnen, moerassen, hoogvenen en natte heiden behandeld. In deel 3 komen de graslanden, zomen en droge heiden aan de orde, in deel 4 wordt de plantengroei van de kust en van binnenlandse pioniermilieus behandeld en deel 5 omvat de ruigten, struwelen en bossen.

Respiration in plants, as in all living organisms, is essential to provide metabolic energy and carbon skeletons for growth and maintenance. As such, respiration is an essential component of a plant’s carbon budget. Depending on species and environmental conditions, it consumes 25-75% of all the carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis – even more at extremely slow growth rates. Respiration in plants can also proceed in a manner that produces neither metabolic energy nor carbon skeletons, but heat. This type of respiration involves the cyanide-resistant, alternative oxidase; it is unique to plants, and resides in the mitochondria. The activity of this alternative pathway can be measured based on a difference in fractionation of oxygen isotopes between the cytochrome and the alternative oxidase. Heat production is important in some flowers to attract pollinators; however, the alternative oxidase also plays a major role in leaves and roots of most plants. A common thread throughout this volume is to link respiration, including alternative oxidase activity, to plant functioning in different environments.

The book Plants and Climate Change focuses on how climate affects or affected the biosphere and vice versa both in the present and past. The chapters describe how ecosystems from the Antarctic and arctic and from other latitudes respond to global climate change. The book covers papers highlighting plant responses to atmospheric CO2 increase, to global warming and to increased ultraviolet-B radiation as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion. Depending on how and how well plant responses to increased temperature, atmospheric CO2 and ultraviolet-B have been preserved in the (sub)-fossil record, past climates and past atmospheric chemistry may be reconstructed. Pollen and tree-ring data reflect plant species composition and variation of temperature and precipitation over long or shorter time intervals. In addition to well preserved morphological and chemical plant properties, new analytical techniques such as stable isotopes are becoming increasingly important in this respect. The development and validation of such biotic climate and environment proxies build a bridge between biological and geological research. This highlights that plant-climate change research is becoming a multi- and transdisciplinary field of relevant research. Reprinted from Plant Ecology, 182:1-2 (2006).
