British Plant Communities: Volume 4, Aquatic Communities, Swamps and Tall-Herb FensBritish Plant Communities is the first systematic and comprehensive account of the vegetation types of Great Britain. It covers all natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in Great Britain (but not Northern Ireland), representing the fruits of fifteen years' research by leading plant ecologists. The book breaks new ground in wedding the rigorous interest in the classification of plant communities that has characterized continental phytosociology with the deep concern traditional in Britain to understand how vegetation works. The three volumes already published have been greeted with universal acclaim and the series has become firmly established as a framework for a wide variety of teaching, research and management activities in ecology, conservation and land-use planning. The present book covers aquatic and swamp vegetation and will be a useful reference for professionals in botany, ecology, conservation, and natural history. |
