Step forward in plant taxonomy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification, the word means order law, or order science. This branch of science deals with the organization of living creatures and grouping them according to similarities. Taxonomy is the method by which scientists, conservationists, and naturalists classify and organize the vast diversity of living things on this planet in an effort to understand the evolutionary relationships between them. Classifications in the broad sense are box-in-box, group-in-group, or part/whole naming devices that we use to communicate aspects of our knowledge of things in genera. For any classification system to be effective, it must be stable, universal, i.e., be used by a wide range of people, and it must enhance communication of knowledge by helping us to relate things in our minds. From this point of view biological classification systems are no different from any others.
