	FROM THE AMAZON TO THE INDIANAPOLIS 500
		During the 19th century, nearly all crude rubber came out of the jungles of Brazil from native plants of Hevea brasiliensis, although natural rubbers from guayule (Parthenium argentatum) and Castilla plus a few other plants were also used.
		Of course, the hevea rubber plant is now grown on plantations in other wet tropical regions, but until the 1900s Brazil had a monopoly on this plant product.
		Au contraire, in the New World Hevea brasiliensis has been seriously hurt by a fungal disease call leaf blight (Microcyclus), so that the plant has essentially disappeared from its native home, and crude rubber must now come from Old World plantations.

	Conservation Ecology: Tropical forest reorganization after cyclone and fire disturbance in Samoa: remnant trees as biological legacies
		At the crater site, no significant pattern at different distances from trees was found for any of the size classes, although there was a pronounced trend among the smallest plants toward a peak in both density and species richness at a distance of 5 m (at the margin or just outside of canopies).
		Third, at the crater site the human impact is much higher; parts of the crater slope are used for agriculture, which may have influenced the distribution and abundance of the regenerating plant species in the remaining forest patches.
		Canarium vitense, Cryptokaria elegans, Premna serratifolia, Inocarpus fagifer, Planchonella torricilencis, Psychotria insularum, Sterculia adenanthera, Fagrea sp., and Cypholopus stipulatus were found only at the crater site, whereas Alphitonia sp., Castilla elastica, Syzygium savaiense, Carica papaya, and Psidium sp.

	Le Bassin du Jucar et la culture du mais
		La culture du maïs en Castilla-La Mancha se concentre dans la province d'Albacete, qui en 1999 représentait 53 % de la production régionale et 48 % de la superficie plantée et de la consommation de l'eau pour la culture de cette céréale.
		De la même façon que le transvasement Tajo-Segura finira de ruiner écologiquement une plaine fertile sous le Segura, déjà affectée par les politiques hydrologiques imprudentes dans ce bassin, le transfert de l'Ebre provoquera la ruine écologique de la Rive Basse du Jucar.
		L'image diffusée par les médias gouvernementaux, selon laquelle le transvasement consiste à amener l'eau de l'Ebre à la côte méditerranéenne " assoiffée ", a permis de tenir dans l'ombre le rôle joué par la Castille-La Mancha dans la gestation du transfert de l'Ebre.
