In the late 1920‘s, ecological studies, encouraged by the growing importance of inland fisheries, were started hy British, French and Belgian biologists. Some twenty years later several government limnological research centres and fishery departments were established in tropical Africa, and scientific progress was accelerated. Scientific collaboration between the regions south of the Sahara was started formally in 1951 by the Scientific Council for Africa and stimulated by the International Biological Programme (1964-74) with its emphasis on biological productivity. Some of its interests were takcn on by SCOPE which recently selected continental wetlands as a Special Project; hence this book. The five authors, with-Patrick Denny as editor, have made a very valuable contribution both to science and to thc management of Africa‘s natural rcsourccs: thcy have filled a gap in the synthesis of knowledge about Africa‘s environments | 出版日期 | Book 1985 | 关键词 | biology; ecology; ecosystem; plant; plants; vegetation; wetland | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-5504-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-5504-2 | copyright | Dr W.
