South Africa - Acocks Collecting Register Book 9

South African vegetation through the eyes of one man over a period of 40 years. John Phillip Harison Acocks (7 April 1911 Cape Town - 20 May 1979 Middelburg, Eastern Cape) used his observations to create the map of the Veld Types of South Africa that underpinned South African vegetation and botanical work for 50 years (1953 to 2005). Acocks collected in excess of 20 000 specimens, sampled at over 3 600 sites, recording over 390 000 species-locality observations. Many of his records are in amazingly neat writing. This forms an incredibly valuable source of information for biodiversity studies.

一位学者历时四十载记录的南非植被图景。约翰·菲利普·哈里森·阿科克斯（John Phillip Harison Acocks，1911年4月7日生于开普敦，1979年5月20日于东开普省米德尔堡逝世）依托其野外观测数据绘制了《南非稀树草原植被类型图》，该图作为南非植被与植物学研究的核心支撑长达五十年（1953年至2005年）。阿科克斯累计采集逾20000份植物标本，在3600余个采样点开展野外调查，记录了超过390000条物种-分布地点观测记录。其大量观测记录字迹工整清晰，为生物多样性研究提供了极具价值的信息资源。
