Diversity Hot Spots...


 Some plant species are common and widespread. Others are globally rare, often confined to a single small island or valley. Plant diversity is very unevenly distributed across the planet. Some regions such as the Cape in South Africa, Sarawak and the Andes in South America are home to very large numbers of species. The global Biodiversity Hotspots are shown in red on the world map below, but in fact, local hotspots can be detected using modern botanical research methods at all scale in the landscape. These patterns have to be revealed and should be respected in planning decisions at local and broader levels.

Knowledge of hotspots at all scales facilitates the sensible management of natural resources, as well as, the selection of areas for conservation and sustainable economic development – minimizing environmental impacts.


 

Meet John Wood


   
 John Wood

John Wood
My name is John Wood and I am one of the team of botanists from the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford.

I have studied the plants of many different countries writing a Flora of Yemen and have contributed to other biodiversity studies in collaboration with botanists from Kew, the Smithsonian Institution and elsewhere. I also work with botanists from India, China and Thailand studying a fascinating group of some 450 Asian plants related to the garden Acanthus which are known scientifically as Strobilanthes and are famous for mass flowering followed by sudden death just like bamboos.

To find out more about John and his adventurous travels and to post a question or comment about John, please see the Oxford Department of Plant Sciences Blog. Enjoy!!!!
