Description
An Illustrated Guide to British Upland Vegetation brings together comprehensive information on plant communities in the UK's uplands. Written by a team of experienced botanists and ecologists, this single-volume guide provides detailed descriptions of all currently recognised British upland vegetation types.
With guidance on how to differentiate between similar-looking communities, each vegetation type is described clearly and vividly, accompanied by up-to-date distribution maps and sections on ecology, conservation, and management. This authoritative resource will be invaluable for anyone with a keen interest in the uplands, including ecologists, land managers, students, and organisations involved in nature conservation.
Supporting many years of field work in the British uplands, this book is an indispensable companion for understanding and managing these unique environments.
