Plant Health Australia is working to develop frameworks so that accurate and reliable plant health information can be made available to plant health practitioners, policy makers, industry and the wider Australian community.
The purpose of these web pages is to communicate the important role that bats play in the pollination and dispersal of plants in the Neotropics. We present a searchable database in which one can find out what plants have been reported to be pollinated or dispersed by bats and what bats are known to pollinate or disperse plants in this, the floristically richest region of the world.
At this site, I will post references to current Boreal Ecoregion issues that appear in newspapers, magazines, etc. Because of copyright laws, I am unable to fully reproduce the articles.
British Ecological Society website.
The Society publishes a series of books called Ecological Issues. These books introduce the scientific facts behind current issues in an easily accessible way.
The CANADIAN POISONOUS PLANTS INFORMATION SYSTEM presents data on plants that cause poisoning in livestock, pets, and humans. The plants include native, introduced, and cultivated outdoor plants as well as indoor plants that are found in Canada. Some food and herbal plants are also included that may cause potential poisoning problems.
Florida Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants is a research center, and to the Aquatic, Wetland and Invasive Plant Information Retrieval System (APIRS), the world's largest information resource of its kind.
A major function of the Centre is to document the biological diversity of the Australian environment through establishing the taxonomic identity and relationships of native plants, their geographical distribution, and their ecological relationships. These studies primarily concentrate on significant national plant groups such as eucalypts, orchids, grasses, grevilleas, mosses, rainforest laurels and the citrus family. The Centre has developed computer-based interactive systems for identifying rainforest trees and eucalypts.
Online simulations of forest growth, population growth, competition, predator/prey, exploitation and migration. The text portions of these labs can be accessed from any web browser. The simulators are implemented in Java 1.1, and have been tested on recent web browsers under Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
