The first and so far only Plant Geography of Chile was written
about 100 years ago, since when many things have changed: plants
have been renamed and reclassified; taxonomy and systematics have
experienced deep changes as have biology, geography, and
biogeography. The time is therefore ripe for a new look at Chile's
plants and their distribution. Focusing on three key issues -
botany/systematics, geography and biogeographical analysis - this
book presents a thoroughly updated synthesis both of Chilean plant
geography and of the different approaches to studying it. Because
of its range - from the neotropics to the temperate sub-Antarctic -
Chile's flora provides a critical insight into evolutionary
patterns, particularly in relation to the distribution along the
latitudinal profiles and the global geographical relationships of
the country's genera. The consequences of these relations for the
evolution of the Chilean Flora are discussed. This book will
provide a valuable resource for both graduate students and
researchers in botany, plant taxonomy and systematics,
biogeography, evolutionary biology and plant conservation.
