Pitcairn famously is home to   descendants of the ¿Bounty¿ mutineers who hid out   there after seizing the ship from Captain Bligh. The   flora of Pitcairn Island is of international   interest due to the large ratio of endemic plant   species on the island. The islanders imported a   timber producing species called \"Roseapple\"   (Syzygium jambos) to the island in the 1800's, it   has now spread to cover most of the centre of the   island, outcompeting the native forest and its   endemic species. This research project investigated   ways of controlling ¿Roseapple¿ and developed   propagation protocols for many of the native and   endemic species, which were used to replant areas   where ¿Roseapple¿ was treated. The local community   were fully involved with the project and an economic   assessment of the cost of control and restoration   was carried out. Genetic fingerprints were produced   of the most threatened endemic species and   recommendations for their ongoing conservation are   outlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838335568\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInvasive species control and forest restoration on Pitcairn Island, South Central Pacific\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838335568","offer_id":39485315317853,"sku":"9783838335568","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/53fabe94-e92f-4c21-915d-d746a02378fe.jpg?v=1773379617","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/plant-conservation-von-noeleen-smyth","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
