Plant Life of the Dolomites: Vegetation Tables

Autor Erika Pignatti, Sandro Pignatti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 dec 2015
This volume provides an in-depth analysis of over 100 plant communities of the Dolomite vegetation. The data is based on the phytosociological relevés, which have been collected by the authors in nearly 2000 surveys. The key part consists of approx. 130 association tables presenting plant sociological data for the respective plant communities. Thus, this volume perfectly complements the successful main volume “Plant Life of the Dolomites: Vegetation Structure and Ecology,” which features summarized, synoptic association tables of the twelve habitats. In addition, geo-referenced locations of relevés and detailed ecological measures are provided. A further part describes the individual components of the fascinating dolomitic landscape (Heritage of all Humanity) and presents tables of vegetation complexes, which summarize the more than 400 surveys carried out in the Dolomites.
The structure of this supplementary volume corresponds to that of the main volume with a key part consisting of twelve chapters, each describing a specific habitat, and a total of 106 associations. Several topics covered in the main volume, such as the exploration of the flora, ecological factors and syntaxonomy are discussed further here.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“This book aims to be more than simply a phytosociological description of the vegetation of the Dolomites. … Each habitat chapter begins with a general introduction, including highly detailed descriptions with excellent illustrations, of the ecological and environmental conditions associated with that habitat. … Each vegetation description, and indeed each chapter, is illustrated with excellent photographs and distribution maps, and overall the book is a beautiful object … . it is simply a lovely book.” (Rob Brooker, Mountain Research and Development (MRD), Vol. 35 (1), February, 2015)
“The book represents an extraordinary wealth ofinformation. The layout with numerous beautiful colour photographs, instructivetables, maps, diagrams and flow charts … is not only nice but also makes theinformation easily accessible and comparable. … The book is the firstcomprehensive modern vegetation overview of a larger region, both within Italyand for the Alps in general, and hopefully will inspire others to follow thispioneer work.” (Jürgen Dengler, Bulletin of the European Dry Grassland Group,Issue 24-25, November, 2014)
“The amount of information held here is absolutely colossal, written by enthusiasts who know the area well. Whether you’re interested in individual plant species, or in seeing how the communities fit within the wider landscape, there will be something here for you. The love of the area comes through in the writing and there are even three suggested itineraries ‘for getting to know the flora of the Dolomites’. A wonderful book to become lost in.” (Peter Thomas, The Bulletin, Vol. 45, August, 2014)
