Indirect usage includes the needs of Man‘s livestock and the maintenance of the environment; the benefits may be domestic, commercial or aesthetic. Economic plants constitute a large and so far uncalculated percentage of the quarter of a million higher plants in the World today. However, it has been calculated that 10% (25 000) of these species are now on the verge of extinction and extinction means that a genetic resource that could be of benefit to Man will be lost for ever. Furthermore, for every species lost an estimated 10-30 other dependent organisms are also doomed. Fewer than 1 per cent of the World‘s plants have been sufficiently well studied for a true evaluation of the potential floral wealth awaiting discovery, not only in the rain forests, which man is now actively destroying at a rate of 20 ha a minute, but also in the very much neglected dry areas of the World. | | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1985 | | 关键词 | agriculture; desert; development; ecosystem; energy; flora; nitrogen; nutrition; plant; plants; soil; water; Sys | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-6830-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-04-445330-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-6830-4 | | copyright | Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 1985 |
