Plant Life of the Dolomites

This volume provides in-depth analysis of over 100 plant communities of the Dolomite vegetation. The data are based on the phytosociological relevés, which have been collected by the authors in hundreds of surveys. The key part consists of approx. 130 association tables presenting plant sociological data of the individual plant communities. Thus, this volume perfectly complements the successful main volume "Plant Life of the Dolomites: Vegetation Structure and Ecology" which contains summarized, synoptic association tables of the twelve habitats. In addition, geo-referenced locations of relevés and detailed ecological measures are given. A further part describes the individual components of the dolomitic landscape and presents tables of vegetation complexes, which summarize the over 400 surveys carried out in the Dolomites.§§The structure of this supplementary volume corresponds to the main volume with a key part of twelve chapters, each describing a 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 further discussed here.§
