{"product_id":"9781920217372","title":"Fynbos - Ecology and Management","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fynbos region is one of the most spectacularly diverse places on Earth. This is not an idle statement. When one considers the diversity of insects, freshwater and marine species also associated with the Cape, this hotspot is arguably the hottest of all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is also confusingly heterogeneous, with a diversity of fine-scale habitats, from wetlands in the lowlands to seeps in the mountains, unique soil, nutrient, aspect and rainfall conditions, all of which combine to sustain and drive this diversity. Fynbos is a fire-adapted vegetation and needs fire to sustain itself: without fire the vegetation would thicken and senesce, permit trees to enter and dominate the system, and eventually exclude the precious nutrients liberated by fire and which the system depends upon for rejuvenation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a guide that will help people who visit, live, manage or own land in the Fynbos Biome to appreciate and manage its extraordinary natural richness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXTENT: 262 pages\u003cbr\u003eFORMAT: 240 x 210 mm\u003cbr\u003eSoft cover\u003cbr\u003eMore than 250 photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Karen+J.+Esler\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eKaren J.
