Today the genus is limited to one species with approximately 5,000 mature individuals growing in the Xiahoe Valley in southeastern China. This book is a distillation of the collective efforts and results of the world's Metasequoia specialists and enthusiasts. It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference source for the genus and the authors have sought to incorporate obscure, hard-to-get and non-English reference sources. The book reviews what is known about the biology, ecology and physiology of fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and problems that remain unresolved. This book presents a definitive overview of fossil and living Metasequoia and was written by sixteen of the world's experts on this important genus. Given the reality of increasing human pressure and the inevitability of global change, efforts to conserve this ancient genus are underway. 0aLIFE SCIENCES. 0aPALEONTOLOGY. 0aTREES. 0aECOLOGY.14aLIFE SCIENCES.24aBIOGEOSCIENCES.24aGEOECOLOGY/NATURAL PROCESSES.24aPALEONTOLOGY.24aTREE BIOLOGY.1 aWilliams, Christopher J.eeditor.1 aYang, Hong.eeditor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402026317 0aTopics in Geobiology ;v2240uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-2764-8zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
